This project is supported by a Digitizing Hidden Collections grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The grant program is made possible by funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
A beautiful idea which places Alumni in touch with each other as time goes forward.
Users can find the Woodruff Library content in the Digital Library of Georgia (see http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/Institutions/auu.html), the Woodruff library’s own site (http://digitalcommons.auctr.edu/), and in the Digital Public Library of America (https://dp.la/search?partner=%22Digital%20Library%20of%20Georgia%22&provider=%22Robert%20W.%20Woodruff%20Library%22&page=1).
Please do not separate this. I believe that the Woodruff Library has been digitizing the schools’ yearbooks in the AU Center for sometime now. I know that some CAU yearbooks are available for viewing and have been for a few years. Not sure about Morris Brown College, but I would certainly hope that they are included in this process. Let’s do a better job of being more “inclusive”, especially when we talk about the Atlanta University Center. Remember , “We Are All In This Together”. 🙂
