DePaul University Library has digitized and released ninety years worth of the DePaulia<\/em>and Alethia <\/em>student newspapers on its Digital Collections<\/a> site. The newspapers are the latest additions to the DePaul Heritage Collections that include digitized photos of DePaul University buildings, as well as the\u00a0DePaulian <\/em>yearbook and the Minerval\u00a0<\/em>student journal. University Archives<\/a> has long maintained a collection of the DePaulia <\/em>and\u00a0Alethia <\/em>in hardcopy.\u00a0The keyword-searchable digital version of the papers also allows us to explore student life at DePaul in detail, see how national and world events influenced its campuses, and follow trends in everything from fashion and advertising<\/a> to campus controversies.\u00a0Frequent coverage of the Universitys administration and faculty make the papers an excellent resource for research on a wide variety of DePaul-related topics.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the DePaulia <\/em>is still a familiar sight, The\u00a0Alethia\u00a0<\/em>was an alternative student paper only published from 1967 to 1971. Its counter-cultural perspective and coverage of social issues in the Lincoln Park neighborhood stood in contrast to the typical DePaulia <\/em>fare of the time. The Library has also digitized the DePaul Poll Parrot<\/em>, a humorous paper that debuted in early 1923, before evolving into the more familiar\u00a0DePaulia <\/em>later that year.<\/p>\n

The Library site will eventually include all the hardcopy DePaulia <\/em>editions collected by University Archives, with new infusions each year as the Archives collects and digitizes the most current editions. While the department has a relatively complete run of the\u00a0DePaulia<\/em>, users will discover some gaps in the digitized collections. Missing editions may be due to a variety of causes, including a few cases where the original paper was too fragile to handle for digitization. University Archives will work with alumni, faculty and staff to identify, collect and digitize these missing editions.<\/p>\n
