New Collections Added to Stanford Digital Repository in September 2013

Mandolin Club

In September, approximately 157,000, files representing nearly 400 items were accessioned into the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR). These materials include -- but are not limited to -- items from the Jarndyce Collection, Stanford historical photographs, and the Tanenbaum Collection.

Jarndyce Single-Volume Nineteenth-Century Novel Collection

The nineteenth-century novel is one of the key areas of research and teaching for the English Department at Stanford, with many faculty and graduate students concentrating on this genre and time period. The Study for the Center of the Novel, which generates much dynamic discussion and scholarship on the form, came about due to the intense engagement with this seminal form at Stanford. The single-volume novel, of the type represented in this collection from Jarndyce, was a precursor to the form of the twentieth-century novel and novella.

Added to SDR: 42 novels, consisting of approximately 52,900 pages

Stanford Historical Photograph Collection

The Stanford Photograph Collection contains over 16,000 images of Stanford scenes including photographs of and relating to the Stanford family, views of the campus and individual buildings, photographs of students and student life activities, and photographs of faculty and administrative staff. The majority of photographs are black and white gelatin prints but nineteenth-century albumen prints mounted on boards are also represented. The collection spans the late 1890s through the 1990s.

Corporation for Foreign Bondholders

The CFB was formed in 1868 to protect the interests of British holders of foreign bonds. In the early 1870s the organization began collecting information about economic and political conditions in countries that had borrowed from British investors. The council also monitored the credit history of borrowers and negotiated with foreign governments that defaulted on debts.  This collection consists of Digitized Annual Reports and Microform Clippings Files.

Added to SDR: 104 Reports
