Microfilm Boxes Containing the 1960’s Barometer
Last year the OMA began a project to search through The Daily Barometer (day-by-day) to find as many minority issues/multicultural related articles as possible, scan them, and make them available online. We started with the 1970s and just completed the 1960s!
Minorities in the Barometer Online Collection
The Daily Barometer, OSU’s student newspaper is a fantastic source of information regarding special events and campus controversies as well as a great way to get a sense of the general atmosphere on campus from the student perspective. The archives has copies of the Barometer dating back to the early 1900s both in print, in large bound editions, as well as on microfilm, which can be viewed via specialized equipment.
This project will continue, decade by decade, and we will be sure to post about it when we make another decade worth of articles available!
