Welcome back to school, Adults!
09/10/2024
To welcome the WAC community back to campus, we would like to take a break from the regularly programmed Special Collections and Archives post and instead highlight some books from our circulating collections. These books encompass a range of genres- from memoir to dark fantasy- but all belong to my favorite made up category of 鈥渂ack to school books for adults鈥�.

May Day Reflections
04/30/2024
Since its first celebration at 蜜桃传媒 in the spring of 1967, May Day has involved different traditions that have changed with the times. Last year, we covered the earliest May Day traditions, when free cases of beer were given to the first student arriving at the local liquor store sans clothing on May 1, and naked photos graced the pages of the Elm in the days following.

Digitizing our Audio-Visual Collection
04/23/2024
The archives hold a vast amount of material and material types, some of which are easier to preserve and make accessible than others. Often it is the more recent items that have the most issues. The pages of an 18th-century letter book are made of sturdier material than a newspaper from the 1930s. A letter from the Revolutionary War will be readable for centuries while your emails will be lost to obsolescence in a few years. And a videotape from the 1980s鈥� well, that requires some outside help.
