About the Collections
Digital Collections at Loyola University Chicago
Digital collections at Loyola University Chicago provide primary sources to the history of Loyola, the Chicago area, and other issues of importance to the university. In addition, digital collections contain repositories of work by Loyolans past and present. Our primary platforms include eCommons, Omeka, and Preservica.
All digital collections are freely accessible online and can be used for research, teaching, and personal interest. Many collections include downloadable materials and citation information for academic use.
About this Project
This project was developed by Meredith Sauer as part of the graduate assistantship in Digital Humanities at Loyola University Chicago. This site is intended to reproduce the existing Digital Collections page and serve as a unified entry point for discovering LUC Libraries’ digital holdings across multiple sources. It is also intended to demonstrate CollectionBuilder’s suitability as a platform for future digital collections and exhibits and as a proof of concept of a CollectionBuilder site built and served with GitHub pages.
Technical Credits - CollectionBuilder
This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
Using the CollectionBuilder-CSV template and the static website generator Jekyll, this project creates an engaging interface to explore driven by metadata.
