As part of a HSLIC seed funding grant awarded last fall, Special Collections was able to hire Gnanitha Garikipati as a temporary Digital Resources Assistant. Gnanitha worked with Abbie Olivas, Archivist, to create metadata and upload content into our two main online access platforms: New Mexico Digital Collections and the UNM Digital Repository. The goal of the project was to make materials that were already digitized, or born-digital, discoverable and more accessible to researchers.
During the spring semester, Gnanitha and Abbie added 40 new collections (over 380 images) to New Mexico Digital Collections and 90 items to the Digital Repository.
Examples of materials added include:
- UNM Health Sciences Center films
- New Mexico Medical Society early minutes and newsletters
- HSC Connects newsletters
- New Mexico Insulin Pump photograph collection
- Lovelace Foundation records
- UNM HSC institutional photograph collection
- Reginal School of Nursing photograph collection
