Photographed wearing a fur coat and posing alongside three dogs, I first came across Florence in the Clements Library Image Bank.

Last month, many of our wonderful student interns studying at the University of Michigan School of Information presented at the UMSI Student Project Exposition, an “annual poster fair that showcases the exceptional projects completed by students through their courses, co-curricular programs, student organizations and independent endeavors.” Each of them presented on the hands-on projects they participated in as part of their education this past year.
While visiting the William L. Clements Library in person is highly recommended, we also maintain a variety of digital resources for doing research with our collections from afar. This blog post is meant to exist as a jumping-off point for doing digital research with our collections, not as an exhaustive guide.
