Richard, I'm very glad to hear that the Archives would like to host this content. I hope you will not only collect the content, but also present it on the Web. Here's my suggestion: Ask Academic Technology Services to let you take over the Pathfinder currently at http://keywords.msu.edu/viewpathfinder.asp?id=7 . They can either give you direct control of that content, or, when you get a suitable History of Michigan State University page up, they can make the keyword "history" from the MSU home page point to what you've put online. I'm heartened to learn that Archives will take up putting MSU history on the Web. /rich On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 3:32 PM, <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > This is also content we would very much like to have as part of the > University Archives. > > Richard Adler > University Archives & Historical Collections > > > Quoting "Richard Wiggins" <[log in to unmask]>: > >> 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. >> >> /rich >> >> >
