Several years ago I compiled a list of sources about history of MSU.
Someone was asking online about MSU's name over the years and I went
to look it up.
Sadly, it turns out that many of the sources have removed or renamed the pages.
If you go to www.msu.edu and search for "history" you'll find:
History of Michigan State University
http://keywords.msu.edu/viewpathfinder.asp?id=7
And it is surprising how many links that describe important MSU
history have become broken:
Vincent Voice Library Finding Aid.
http://www.lib.msu.edu/services/dmc/vincent//findaids/
A Brief History of the College of Human Medicine
http://www.chm.msu.edu/chmhome/home/history.htm
MSU Presidents - Biographical Sketches
https://www.msu.edu/unit/msuarhc/presdnt.html
WKAR Television - Historical Note
http://wkar.org/tv/about/index.php#history
I hope folks that care about MSU history will restore these links, and
I hope someone will edit the Pathfinder to point to the content.
It's not just about preserving the bits; breaking URLs breaks history.
