A New Look for the Ramaker Homepage

Please join with the Ramaker staff in thinking about a new design for the library homepage.  During the past year, the library staff has discussed how to improve the homepage.   Along with our discussions, we have received feedback from students.  As the discussion continues, we invite you to use the blog to give us your recommendations and feedback.  Also, keep an eye on the blog as library staff uses it as a place to post thoughts and questions on design issues that we still thinking about.

New History Database Added

Ramaker has just added another history database to our collection – and it’s one particularly helpful to those needing primary sources.

Picture from the Library of Congress.

ArchiveGrid is an online resource for searching through historical documents, personal papers, and family histories held in archives around the world.  Thousands of libraries, museums, and archives have contributed nearly a million collection descriptions to ArchiveGrid. Researchers searching ArchiveGrid can learn about these collections, contact archives to arrange a visit to examine materials, and order copies.

ArchiveGrid is a great source to see what primary sources are available. In some cases, you may find documents and photos that have been digitized and are available on the web, but in most cases you will need to contact the collection owner to access the materials. 

It’s worth a search, though, because of the depth of collections compiled on this site.  If you have questions about this resource or any others, please ask a Ramaker librarian for help.

Day of Learning in Community

For the Day of Learning in Community, the hours at Ramaker will be as follows:

7:30am – 9:00am: Open
9:00am – 10:45am: Closed
10:45am – Midnight: Open

While the library will be open for most of the day, library staff will not be available between 9:00am and 4:00pm.
