Brackett campus photograph collection in the CUDL

The CMS Digital Resources Cataloging Team and the CUB Archives are pleased to announce that the J. Raymond Brackett Photograph Collection is available in the CU Digital Library. The collection consists of 196 black and white photographs (and a few photo negatives) of the CUB campus taken between 1890 and 1915. The photographs provide an interesting look into the landscape of the university and its architecture as the institution grew and evolved around the turn of the 20th century. Familiar buildings appear alongside some that haven't been heard of in decades, and some current buildings are called by different names. A bibliographic record for the collection will be available in Chinook shortly.

As always , many people worked to make this collection available. The catalogers who contributed to this collection include Josie Fania, Jane Zumwalt and Erin Block, as well as Andrew Johnson, CUB's new metadata librarian. Holley Long was, as always, invaluable in building the collection in Luna. Thanks are due to Bruce Montgomery and Dave Hays from Archives for their assistance with and insight into the materials.

Please direct questions about the metadata portion of this digitization project to Michael Dulock.

Medieval Manuscript Leaves Collection in the CUDL

The CMS Digital Resources Cataloging Team and the CU-B Special Collections Department are pleased to announce that the Medieval Manuscript Leaves Collection is available in the CU Digital Library. The collection consists of 178 individual digitized manuscript leaves selected from among Special Collections' Ege, Hayes, and Miscellaneous Manuscript collections. The leaves date from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, and many are illuminated with colored ink, decorative initials and elaborate borders and drawings. The bibliographic record and Rocky Mountain Online Archive (RMOA) finding aid for the complete physical collection are also available.

As usual, many people contributed to make this collection available. The crack team of catalogers who worked on these records included Jane Zumwalt, Christina Howard, Candy Gobrecht, Josie Fania and Erin Block. Holley Long was, of course, instrumental in building the collection in Luna. Thanks are due to Debbie Hollis, Kris McCusker and Elizabeth Newsom from Special Collections for their assistance with the materials.
