Archival Resources on the Web

Nebraska Archives Online

Abstract

From discussions over coffee to migrating thousands of descriptions, archivists and university colleagues in Nebraska have been busy trying to make access to archival collections just a bit more comprehensive. A single instance of ArchivesSpace, hosted by LYRASIS, connects archival repositories in Kearney, Lincoln, and Omaha and provides access to our resources. Four University of Nebraska archival repositories recently collaborated to create Nebraska Archives Online (NAO; http://archives.nebraska.edu). With support from the University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries (UNCL, comprised of libraries at the University of Nebraska Kearney, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the University of Nebraska Omaha), the new tool launched in spring 2019 and is available for patrons of all kinds to seek and to find primary source materials. While it is meant to benefit patrons, the shared instance also assists in collection management work within the repositories. NAO also provided a project that brought together the many archivists who manage and provide access to university archival and special collections.
