CU Anschutz History Day: What we found in CU Boulder’s Norlin Library

Combing through a treasure trove of boxes found in the Rare and Distinctive Collections of the University of Colorado Boulder Norlin Library feels like a scene from Indiana Jones. The smell of aging paper – sweet and earthen – emanates as each box is unloaded and unpacked. Documents creak with age, as records, photographs and letters open a window to the past.
