Description

While preparing the manuscript for a forthcoming book, a faculty member asked if we could create within the repository a collection of primary source documents to supplement and support his work. Specifically, he wanted us to create a collection of documents to which he cites that are not readily available in digital format. Most of the documents are in the public domain, but are physically housed in archival collections that have not been digitized. Creating a collection in the repository would allow his readers easy access to the material cited in his work.
