Welcome to our blog. This project is an initiative of a two-pronged approach to digital archiving Muskingum University's Special Collections. Senior Faculty member Dr. William Kerrigan is currently overseeing the work of undergraduates who are not only contributing articles to this blog but also digitally cataloging images, documents, and other artifacts in the institution's possession. The philosophy behind our work is to make the contents of our archives more accessible to the public in order to share the rich and vibrant history of our institution with a broader audience by taking advantage of modern mediums of transmission. Our other goal is to create a database where high resolution tiff image files of the contents of Muskingum's collection's can be accessed by students, alumni, and friends of the university who have an interest in researching topics related to our past.
We invite you to continue to check up on our progress as our enterprise get's off the ground. We anticipate that this project will blossom into a valuable resource for years to come. Please feel free to post your thoughts on our work or offer your suggestions on topics that have your particular interest.
