In October 2023, SMU Libraries uploaded and/or updated 302 items in SMU Libraries Digital Collections. Highlights include:
33 manuscripts, documents, and imprints, 1872-1952, comprising 1,581 pages have been uploaded to the Texas: Photographs, Manuscripts, and Imprints digital collection. The items include various minutes from Baptist organization meetings, and programs from fairs around the state including souvenir programs for the State Fair. Items of note include a Directory of women’s organizations in Houston, 1933, and a book on The Legal Status on Women in Texas, 1905. This project was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services and Texas State Library and Archives Commission (Grant Number LS-253655-OLS-23).
4 interviews have been added to the Southern Methodist University Oral History Interviews and Digital Humanities Student Projects collection. These interviews, with Aiden Egbuchunam, Émilie Lamarsaude, Dinobi Onyeagocha, and Alithia Payan, are part of the Voices of SMU project.
38 WFAA videos from August and September 1971 have been updated and enhanced with annotations that were researched and written by staff at the G. William Jones Film and Video Collection. The annotations provide detailed descriptions of each shot based on time-code, making the newsfilms easy to search and retrieve, as well as providing information on the people, places, and events that are depicted.
