The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project
Archive of documents, photographs, and interviews from the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness
About the Collection
This digital collection consists of images, documents, and interviews from the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project, an NEH funded exploration into the human aspects of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, one of the largest wilderness areas in the United States.
The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project ended in 2011, leaving their website unmaintained. Although still accessible, the website may have broken features and links. This collection gathers the project’s items together, but does not reproduce all the original features.
A majority of these items are housed in the University of Idaho Special Collections department and listed in the Sources Related to the History of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area finding aid.

This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
Using the CollectionBuilder-CSV template and the static website generator Jekyll, this project creates an engaging interface to explore driven by metadata.
