Last spring, our archives was selected for participation in a digitization project<\/a> sponsored by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI). I chose the IWU Catalogue of Courses from 1851-1954<\/a> for this project, and it just went live as the 200th collection added to CARLI’s digital collection database<\/a> for member libraries.<\/p>\n

Course catalogs may not seem like the most compelling artifacts to have available online, but they have a lot to tell us about changes in personnel and physical attributes of campus, not to mention the curriculum!<\/p>\n

A little known fact about these sources is that up until 1954, our catalogs contained an “enrolled” student list for the range\u00a0of degree and certificate programs being offered.<\/p>\n

So from the standpoint of the kinds of questions people direct to the archives, a significant benefit of this effort is that our last large collection of print material needed for finding people associated with IWU is now searchable!<\/p>\n

Of course, all of the originals and the more recent catalogs, from 1955-present, are available in print in the University Archives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the 1941-43 Catalog available at http:\/\/collections.carli.illinois.edu\/cdm\/ref\/collection\/iwu_catalog\/id\/7456<\/p><\/div>\n

For this project, CARLI worked with the Internet Archive<\/a>, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization to make these materials freely available to CARLI libraries and the world, through the Internet Archive at https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/carli_lib<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can access our catalogs there or though the CARLI-hosted search interface<\/a>. The smaller collection I created through CARLI makes it easy to search just our collection rather than having ours along with the millions of items already in the Internet Archive.<\/p>\n
