Updates and Additions to the Digital Archive
A lot has been happening in 2018 with the Digital Archive and we wanted to provide an update.
The Digital Archive features items from TPL's Special Collections and content from it may be downloaded, shared and reproduced in print or electronic format for personal, educational, and research use.
Not only have we been adding a lot of new content, we've redesigned the look and feel of the Digital Archive so that it's more visually striking and promotes browsing of the collections in more intuitive ways.
