NEWS AND EVENTS -- Spring 2008

Special Collections is pleased to announce the beginning of a comprehensive digitization program to make more of the unique materials contained in the collection available electronically for researchers via the internet. We are currently evaluating digital asset management software to begin disseminating digital images on the web.

Phase one of the program involves increasing the amount of photographic and digital images available on the website, so that a visually striking record of our holdings are available on the internet.

Please see our Digital Highlights for a sampling of the digitization work that has begun on our Imaginative Representations of the Vietnam War collection. We will continue to feature new imagery as materials become available digitally.
