Digital Memories at the University of Idaho Library



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.

The most recent addition to the series is "Earl Larrison and the
Scott Collection," featuring the intersection between Sir Walter Scott's description of
collecting old books in The Antiquary (1816) and Professor Larrison's collection of Scott
books.

The Special Collections Department of the University of Idaho
Library includes those materials that, because of subject coverage, rarity, source,
condition, or form, are best handled separately from the General Collection. The several
"collections" housed in this department include the Day-Northwest Collection of Western
Americana, Rare Books, Idaho Documents, Sir Walter Scott Collection, Ezra Pound
Collection, Caxton Collection, University of Idaho Theses, Historical Maps, Historical Photograph
Collection, and Personal Papers and University Archives.

"Digital Memories" can be accessed through the URL <http://www.lib.uidaho.edu/special-collections/>. Previous
editions, on the University Library's waspish cube, Homer Pound and Idaho, and Kyle Laughlin's
photograph of Indian Post Office on the Lolo Trail, are also available. 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 4000 entries from around the world.
