"Rare Historical Resources Now Online From West Texas Digital Archives"

From a DuraSpace Blog Post:

The West Texas Digital Archives, an online digital repository of significant historical materials belonging to the members of the Abilene Library Consortium (ALC), is now available online at http://wtda.alc.org/. This virtual collection of more than 44,000 preserves and provides access to valuable historical resources previously unavailable to the general public.
The Archives contains photographs, newspapers, yearbooks, letters, oral histories, periodicals, manuscripts, journals, papers, maps, directories, pamphlets and more, as well as audio files.
