From 1903 to 2004, the "Gem of the Mountains" was the official yearbook of the University of Idaho. During this time, the Gem recorded the controversies, histories, terrific achievements, and traditions of this august institution located in the quiet town of Moscow. In 2011-2012, the entire yearbook collection was digitized and processed for online viewing. Today visitors have access to over 100 volumes, which constitute over 33,000 pages and 3 terabytes worth of image files. The homepage features a collection of Famous Vandals, including noted Chemist Malcolm MacKenzie, along with Carol Ryrie Brink, the author of "Caddie Woodlawn." Visitors can wander around via the Spines area, or might do well to check out the Covers area, in which they can choose books based on covers they find intriguing.
