Lowell Thomas Papers: Now Searchable Through Fox Hunt

All of the 61,369 catalog records along with 40,000 digitized images from the Lowell Thomas Papers are now searchable through Fox Hunt. This enhances the discovery process as the results from the LT Papers will be integrated to the overall search results from the library. Researchers who are particularly interested in searching Archives & Special Collections’ digital records can limit their search by selecting "Archival Materials" from the content type in the advanced search.

The Lowell Thomas Papers encompasses a wide range of materials documenting the life, family, and professional career of Lowell Thomas. These materials include correspondence, administrative and financial documents, manuscripts, printed materials, photographic materials, motion picture films, audio recordings, and memorabilia. Of particular interest are the materials relating to Thomas's travelogues, association with T.E. Lawrence, Cinerama productions, journey to Tibet, and broadcast series "High Adventure with Lowell Thomas." The overview of this collection can be viewed at: LT Paper Historical Note.

This highlights a major milestone for Archives & Special Collections. The Lowell Thomas Papers is the first digital collection from our archives to be successfully integrated in the Fox Hunt. Furthermore, we are working closely with Serial Solutions to integrate the remaining 49 manuscript collections and additional updates will be sent as we do so. In the meantime follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get a snapshot of our collections.
