Digital Memories
Apologies for the duplication.
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 "The 1910 Blow-Up," a
brief look at the forest fire that swept through three million acres in
Idaho and Montana ninety years ago. Oral histories, newspaper accounts,
and photographs document the fire and its consequences.
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 4100 entries from around the world.
