New Digital Collection: The Arkansas Traveler Newspapers
All issues of the Arkansas Traveler student newspaper from 1907-1947 have been digitized! These 2,310 scans represent only 20% of the Libraries’ Traveler holdings. It’s our hope that through this year’s All in for Arkansas campaign, we can raise funds to digitize the remaining 80%.
