As <\/span>Iowa City continues to recover from last weekend\u2019s ice storm, we thought we\u2019d feature scenes from winters past<\/a> on the Iowa Digital Library home page, drawn from the Iowa City Town and Campus Digital Collection. Included are images such as an 1869 photograph of a sparsely populated Pentacrest, shown below along with a few bonus wintry items from other IDL collections.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Inside the library, things are warming up as we work hard to finish the last of our big projects for the year. For DLS, that means the official debut of the Ding Darling collection; for our IMLS Fellows, that means wrapping up their projects before moving on to new assignments next semester. Stay tuned for more info as we launch these collections in the coming weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n
