About
The University of Texas Libraries collects and preserves the finest achievements of
human knowledge in support of not only research and instruction needs, but also
the exploration of ideas and intellectual innovation. We are proud to provide access
to digitized and born-digital items from our collections for researchers, scholars,
educators, and the general public.
The items presented here, including newspapers, images, books, maps, and more,
represent only a small portion of the Libraries’ vast holdings. We are adding more all
the time.
Open Source Technology
We built our discovery portal with open source solutions, including a Blacklight interface framework and a Solr enterprise index. We serve images using the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) and expose our IIIF manifests so that items are portable to any IIIF viewer.
