Digital Memories



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 an illustrated summary of
highway construction in Latah County south of Moscow.

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
Senator Borah's bid for the presidency, Sir Walter Scott's Heart of the
Midlothian, and Idaho's non-laureate Poet.  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
4900 entries from around the world.
