The NDSU Libraries was the NDSU feature for the biennial Higher Education Showcase held March 4 in the Great Hall of the North Dakota State Capitol. Highlighted were the Libraries’ special collections of the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection and the Institute for Regional Studies. Representing the Libraries was Dean Michele Reid; Michael M. Miller, curator of the Germans from Russia collection; and John E. Bye, director of the Institute for Regional Studies & University Archives. A powerpoint presentation featured Digital Horizons, the new digitization program of the Institute being done in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota, Prairie Public  Broadcasting and Concordia College Archives. The goal of this digitization program is to make the public aware of the depth of photographs in the collections of the Institute and University Archives, and also to provide easy web access to these valuable historical resources.

People are invited to visit Digital Horizons and view the over 11,000 items already available.
