This session explores the Eccles Health Sciences Library’s (EHSL) role in commemorating milestones across the University of Utah’s health sciences campus. As colleges, schools, and departments celebrate anniversaries and historical achievements, they often turn to the library for curated materials, particularly photographs, from EHSL’s historical collections. Additionally, these collaborations help the library grow its own archives through new donations of historical material from the respective collaborators.
This session showcases how these partnerships can bolster both physical and digital collections. Attendees will discover how these efforts helped foster campus engagement, preserve institutional memory, and develop inclusive historical narratives.
This session shares practical strategies for assisting campus partners, fortifying institutional memory, and further developing archival resources at the library.
