With the upgrade of the VuDL software late in 2013, processing of new content was suspended. As testing has progressed, some new content has been added to the offerings of the Digital Library. Scanning – of course – continued since this moratorium in November 2013 and the large backlog of content that has been created will be described and made available over the next several months.

In the mean time, sit back and enjoy the following newly available offerings:
