It's impossible to say what noted explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark would think of any digital collection, but they would be probably be generally pleased to learn of this particular online treasure. Created by library staff at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, this site contains all of the school's completed digital collections. All told, there are over a dozen thematic collections, and they cover East Asian pamphlets, early drawings of Native Americans, and Lewis & Clark College yearbooks. One collection here that should not be missed is the one dedicated to the works of Gordon Gilkey. Gilkey was a printmaker who taught at Lewis & Clark College during the 1930s, and his work included commissions for the 1939 World's Fair in New York and museums around the world. Visitors looking for something specific can also search the entire digital holdings by keyword.
