Digital Versions of UC San Diego Archives

We have scanned a wealth of materials from the UC San Diego University Archives collections, available in the library's Digital Collections including official campus news releases, student newspapers, photos, and perhaps a few other kinds of things related to protests and demonstrations on campus scanned from materials right here in the Library.

News releases  - while coming from the campus perspective, can be incredibly helpful when you need to pin down names, dates of events, or other such factual information, and can thus help make other searches more precise (e.g. looking through the student newspapers). They can also simply help you fill in factual and contextual gaps in your understanding of campus history. And of course, they give you insight into the official campus (public) perspective on things.
