SPECIAL COLLECTIONS SAVED

Thank you to everyone who responded to the article in the last Green & Silver Magazine, regarding the flood and possible Special Collections losses. The response has been very positive.

Shortly after that issue of the Green & Silver appeared, the damaged materials were returned to Special Collections staff. The damage was not as great as many had feared. The majority of the items came back useable. Some have little noticeable damage; very few will have to be discarded.

One of the biggest worries was over the archived student newspaper “The Chase.” Special Collections Librarian Gene Bundy reported the newspaper issues he’s looked at can be read and were saved. Digitizing “The Chase” will be one of their higher priority items once settled into the new Golden Student Success Center.

Be sure to visit Special Collections the next time you are on campus.
