The Abby Williams Hill Collection This digital collection contains both paintings and papers from the Abby Williams Hill collection, now owned by the University of Puget Sound. During the peak years of her artistic career (1903-1906), Hill garnered four successive contracts with major railway companies, which provided extensive periods for camping and landscape painting, and she produced dozens of paintings to extol the beauty of the Northwest. Exhibitions of these works at several world's fairs --notably the St. Louis World's Fair, the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition -- established her reputation as a professional landscape artist.

Szathmary Recipe Pamphlet Digital Collection Louis Szathmary (1919–1996) was a Hungarian-born chef, restaurateur, and food writer best known as proprietor of The Bakery restaurant in Chicago. Szathmary amassed one of the largest culinary archives in the United States, a portion of which is housed at the University of Iowa Libraries. The University's collection includes more than 4,000 promotional recipe pamphlets, published mainly by food and appliance manufacturers and trade associations (the majority are listed in this index). Dating from the late 19th century to the present, this advertising ephemera reflects the evolution of the modern American diet. Of particular interest is the time period from 1880–1930, when industrialization gave rise to the modern food industry (see essay: Eating in America, 1880-1930). The result was a dramatic change in the American diet, driven by an ever-expanding market of products. This digital collection contains a representative sampling of pamphlets from that era.

Store-Front Churches in Buffalo Milton Rogovin, born December 30, 1909 in New York City, was trained as an optometrist at Columbia University, where he received his degree in 1931. He moved to Buffalo, New York, in 1939, where he established his own optometric practice on Chippewa Street near the city's Lower West Side . This region of the city would serve as a source of material for Rogovin's career as a photographer. Rogovin served in the United States Army from 1942-1945. When he returned to Buffalo, he continued his career as an optometrist and became active in local politics, including the local chapter of the Communist party. As a result of these activities, Rogovin was called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1957. He refused to cooperate with the committee, pleading his rights under the Fifth Amendment. He was ostracized upon his return to Buffalo, and his optometry practice suffered badly. It was at this time that Rogovin, aged 49, began his career as a photographer. His first project was a series of photographs taken of storefront churches in Buffalo's African-American community. The photographic series on storefront churches was followed by other series that documented the lives of workers and people living in poverty. These series included more work in Buffalo's Lower West Side, where he was able to photograph the same people over the course of three decades of their lives. He also photographed coal miners in Appalachia, Scotland, France, China, Mexico, and Spain. Rogovin is quoted as saying, "The rich have their photographers, I photograph the forgotten ones." Rogovin earned his master of arts degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1972 and taught documentary photography there until 1974. His works have been published in at least four collections under his own name as well as in other collections and numerous periodicals. Rogovin's photographs have also been exhibited at institutions across the United States and internationally, and are included in the collections of more than 20 institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House, and the J. Paul Getty Center. Milton Rogovin donated his entire collection to the Library of Congress in 1999. The collection consists of seventeen black and white photographs of storefront churches in Buffalo, including interior shots during services and exterior shots of the buildings. This small collection chiefly focuses on the musical activities during the church services. The photographs are from a series by Rogovin titled Storefront churches 1958-61. It was with this series that Rogovin began his career as a photographer. Rogovin did not title individual photographs; titles as stated in the container list have been supplied for descriptive purposes. Milton Rogovin's photographs of storefront churches in Buffalo 134. Stereocard Collection Stereographs became a popular photographic medium in Europe in the mid-1800s, and through mass production methods became widely distributed in the United States by the 1880s.

Southern Nevada: The Boomtown Years 1900-1925 The LSTA-grant funded digital collection Southern Nevada: The Boomtown Years 1900-1925 brings together a wide range of original source materials found in the rich collections of UNLV Libraries Special Collections as well as items from the Nevada State Museum and the Clark County Museum. The project contains over 1500 digitized items; including photographs, correspondence, newspapers, maps, and ephemera from several mining and railroad manuscript collections documenting both large historical events and the more private and social lives of individuals and their communities during the mining boom in Southern Nevada. Notably, this collection also promotes the use of primary source materials by K-16 educators by providing a wide variety of standards-based teaching activities for elementary and high school students.

Southern Nevada and Las Vegas: History in Maps The maps selected for this digital project document the cartographic history and context of Nevada and the Southwest region, telescoping in scale from the Western Hemisphere to the streets of Las Vegas. Maps were selected to highlight the collection, both in terms of individually important maps and in the breadth and variety of the collection. These maps provide not only a history of the region through its changing political boundaries, but also a history of map-making and the development of the cartographic knowledge of this area. They also demonstrate the great variety of purposes of map making, as maps were, and are, created for a variety of purposes showing different kinds of features which provide different types of information. It is hoped that this project demonstrates what a critical historical resource maps are, and how important it is to preserve them.
