Digital Memories



Apologies for cross-posting.

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 "Early co-eds on campus," which
uses a photograph of the class of 1899 as a lens to examine the
significance of the admission of women at land-grant institutions. The
most recent addition to the series is "Early co-eds on campus," which uses
a photograph of the class of 1899 as a lens to examine the significance of
the admission of women at land-grant institutions. The photograph also
includes Jennie Hughes, the university's first African american student.

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 4200 entries from around the world.
