Redick Hallcollections: the gateway.

Nearly every issue of UNO’s student newspaper, The Gateway, is now available online at http://archive.olivesoftware.com/ Archive/client.asp ?skin=Nebraska. The depth and breadth of this all-digital offering stretches back to the 1920s.

This resource is searchable. Readers can browse through old newspapers, look for a specific topic or name and even search advertisements.

UNO’s Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Library coordinated the digitization effort and is committed to digitizing additional and forthcoming issues of the campus newspaper.

Football game at Benson, 1937“Philip L. Graham, publisher of the Washington Post described newspapers as the first rough draft of history. As preparations begin for the celebration of UNO’s 100th anniversary in 2008, we believe it is fitting to provide digital access to the Gateway,” said John Christensen, UNO chancellor. “With this kind of easy access to nearly every issue, we strive to inspire students, faculty, staff and the community to prepare to celebrate the bright future of UNO and Omaha by studying the great past of this university.”

The online Gateway project was created by Olive Software, and is part of a slate of UNO Centennial happenings, events and celebrations. The UNO Centennial Celebration will start in October of 2008.

Current issues of the Gateway are also online at www.unogateway.com.
