Overview of the Collections

Like Bucknell, many other universities and institutions have created digital collections and made them accessible to the academic community.  Some examples of these collections include:

Rutgers History Collection
A collection of 3000+ images provided by the Art History department at Rutgers University.

David Rumsey Map Collection

The David Rumsey Collection focuses on 18th and 19th century North and South American cartographic materials. The collection includes atlases, globes, school geographies, maritime charts, and a variety of separate maps including pocket, wall, children's and manuscript maps. The online selection is an expanding cross section of images designed to highlight the depth and breadth of the collection. The digital images and associated descriptive data are © Cartography Associates.

Pratt Institute Archives
This collection consists of photographs of Pratt Institute in all its many facets. Dating mainly from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, the collection documents the history of Pratt and the surrounding area through its images of the campus, the buildings, official events and activities, and student life.

Walter Scott Collection
Edinburgh University Library's Corson Collection of Sir Walter Scott material includes portraits of Scott and of people associated with Scott, art inspired by his novels and poems, illustrations to editions of his works, and pictures of places associated with Scott. It covers a variety of formats: oil and watercolor paintings, drawings, engravings, etchings, lithographs, and photographs. This wide-ranging and eclectic collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the diffusion of Scott's work in Scotland, Great Britain, and abroad, in Scott's role in the creation of Scottish national identity, and in his influence on British and foreign depictions of Scotland.
