A number of universities have taken great pains to place historical materials from their past online, both for scholarly purposes and as a way to allow people some window into the institution's history and development. The Scout Report is glad to report that the University of Virginia's Special Collections Library has created this rather fine online visual history collection. The photos and documents are taken from a variety of sources, including the school's own Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, its News Office, and even a few from students. Visitors can search the entire online collection, or they can also opt to view a few major image categories, such as those dedicated to athletic events and that most famous structure designed by Thomas Jefferson, the Rotunda.
