WHA Ad-hoc Curators/Librarians/Archivists Group - Digital Resources
for the Study of Western History
Wednesday, Oct 13 - 1:30 - 3:00
The rapid proliferation of projects intended to capture an
ever-widening range of research materials in digital format has already
and will continue to alter the landscape of scholarly inquiry as well as
that of rare books and manuscripts. Online collections have come to play
a crucial role throughout the field of American history in supporting both
research and classroom instruction. Many of these projects provide
access to significant collections documenting the history of the trans-Mississippi
West through visual and textual resources. In emphasizing such resources,
this session will discuss the great variety of digital resources available
through the world of special collections for both teaching and research.
The presenters will highlight some of the challenges of making these materials
available, from the purely technological to the managerial to the philosophical,
and also will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of selected sites for
the purposes of classroom use and historical study.
Coalition for Western Women's History Session: Not Another Song
and Dance: The Women of Las Vegas
Wednesday, Oct 13 - 3:30-5:00 PM - Grande Ballroom G
Chair: Joanne Goodwin, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
This roundtable presents the other working women of Las Vegas;
the politicians, journalists, food servers, unionists, and others whose
role in creating the city is overshadowed by the popular, "carnivalized"
image of Las Vegas women as showgirls and sex workers. Each participant
will present a brief overview of their work and then they will entertain
questions from the audience.
