The University Libraries has developed a campus story map that showcases the history of its buildings and growth of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍøÖ±²¥â€™s campus. The project draws on the extensive °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍøÖ±²¥ Archives collection and expert knowledge of archivists and librarians.
The project includes a mix of contemporary views and historical photos of current buildings, as well as buildings that no longer exist as the institution evolved from a two-year program to a research university. The map shows the beginnings of the campus starting in 1903 and continues to present day. Additional content and photos will be added as the project continues to be developed.
Project leads: Sharon Carlson and Jason Glatz, University Libraries
