You can take a fascinating virtual trip back through the history of the Colorado Plateau by visiting Colorado Plateau Digital Archives at Northern Arizona University's Cline Library. (Soon we'll take a little road trip down to Cline Library, NAU, Flagstaff. I'll post some pics and the location of the library.)
One of my favorite exhibits is Beyond the Rainbow: The Photographs of James J. Hanks which, in addition to almost 450 digitally scanned negatives from 1027 and 1928, gives access to repeat photography that allows us to see some of Hanks' photographs side-by-side with 2005 pictures of the same sites.
This exhibit is just one part of an ongoing work to make the Colorado Plateau Collections, held by Cline Library, more accessible to students, researchers and the general public. Whether you visit these archives online or at the Library, it is a trip you don't want to miss.
