Special Collections and Archives at the University of Idaho Library
announces a new installment in its series of "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.
In this issue, an illustrated Northern Pacific Railroad publicity brochure
praises the climate and educational opportunities at the University of
Idaho's summer school in 1928.
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
include 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 link to a massive
geographical guide to repositories of primary source materials. The latter
now contains over 5500 entries from around the world.
