New Online Exhibit: Unidos por la Causa

Special Collections is proud to announce the publication of our latest online exhibit, Unidos por la Causa: The Chicana and Chicano Experience in San Diego. This fantastic exhibit, prepared by SCUA employees Amanda Lanthorne, Priscilla Lopez, and Kerwin So, is the tenth in our series of exhibits using an open source exhibits tool from the New Media Consortium called Pachyderm. It is our very first bilingual exhibit, and we are excited to release these great selections from our Chicano/a Studies collections in both English and Spanish. We are currently processing several more additions to the Chicano/a Studies Archive--stay tuned to New and Notable for updates! And don't forget to take a look at the physical version of Unidos por la Causa on display in the Reference area of the Library under the Dome, which will be available through December 31.

In other exhibit news, we're busy planning our upcoming Civil War anniversary exhibit for Spring 2011, which will be in the Donor Hall for all of Spring Semester. To complement this exhibit, we'll be showcasing some of our best war- and military-related collections in the foyer gallery outside SCUA in the Spring. And inside the department, have a blast from the past with selections from University Archives in our SDSU A-Z display. Drop by the department to take a look soon!
