What's New?

New Web Pages!

Those who have been using the Missouri Valley Special Collections Digital Gallery web pages will notice some changes.

The Web pages for the Kansas City Public Library made a major overhaul—new design, new content. With that change, the Missouri Valley Special Collections, the local history and genealogy section of the Library, acquired a new and better way to present its many materials.

In July 2007, when we moved the digital images and the Local History Index into the new CONTENTdm-based web pages, the pages were designed in such a way as to incorporate our other material, like the research guides, resources, links, etc.  Now, these have a more appropriate place among our Local History pages, and the CONTENTdm-based Web pages can showcase those materials found in the MVSC Digital Gallery and Local History Index.

The exhibits and essays have been temporarily removed for a new look and will return in some way.

Please explore the new pages.  If you have questions or comments, please write to lhistory@kclibrary.org. We welcome your suggestions.
