Mini-Archives

This section is a work-in-progress. Under each topic area will be samples of the type of content you can expect. New topic areas and mini-archives will be added as we continue cataloging our digital collections.



Mini-Archives are compilations of individual document and image files related to a specific subject (think of them as photo albums or scrapbooks). Mini-Archives are intended to provide an overview of what’s available in our collection. Their content is generally not curated beyond being in date order. They generally do not contain the original files’ metadata regarding source, description, etc. Displaying “Bookmarks” in your PDF viewer will show the original file names–which may provide additional information.
