The Department of Special Collections and University Archives selectively digitizes materials under its care, both to provide broader access for researchers and to help preserve fragile originals from continued handling, and increasingly, it receives materials that are were created in digital formats. In 2009, SCUA will launch a new online digital repository based on Fedora, the open-source digital object repository system. Information about that project will be posted to this site early in the year.
The links below direct researchers to a descriptive page for the collection, from which we provide links to individual digital files. Video files are linked directly. With a few exceptions, the files on this site are provided either in pdf (texts), mp3 (audio), or wmv (video) format.
