Digital Archives
The Digital Archives encompasses digitized and born-digital materials that are part of Special Collections. Digital collections and materials are housed internally on a library shared drive, CDs/DVDs, and other electronic media. Visitors may request digital materials, which will be brought out to them in the form of access copies and viewed on one of our two patron computer stations in the reading room. Some collections, such as UL Lafayette President Stephens' photograph albums and early issues of the Vermilion student newspaper, are available for access at the Louisiana Digital Library.
Special Collections provides digitization services for research and scholarly use. Digitization efforts are utilized to preserve the University's archival holdings and to increase their accessibility for the community.
