DIGITAL MEMORIES: Archives and Special Collections
|
Special Collections and Archives at the University of Idaho Library announces a new installment in the Webpage "Digital Memories."
Digital Memories focuses on historic artifacts, documents, photographs, and books from the holdings of Special Collections and
Archives. This is a changing showcase of highlights from our collections.
Special Collections and Archives, in the University of Idaho Library, has grown from a "treasure case," to an elevator shaft, to an
archives room,to a library department. Librarian Belle Sweet's 1933 memo designating a special space for special materials marks one
beginning for Special Collection "Digital Memories" can be accessed through the URL: http://www.lib.uidaho.edu/special-collections/.
Previous editions include Senator Borah's bid for the presidency, Sir Walter Scott's Heart of the Midlothian, Idaho's non-laureate
Poet, and the introduction of airplanes for fire spotting. Also at this site is information about Special Collections and its
holdings, archival and manuscript descriptions and inventories, and a massive geographical guide to repositories of primary source
materials. The latter now contains over 5000 entries from around the world.
