This presentation outlines the history of the digitization project to this unique resource, reveal highlights of Western’s past and its close connections to Bellingham and the region, and demonstrate how to search and find articles in the Western Front Historical Collection, which is made pos­sible by the generous support of Don and Cindy Hacherl (class of ‘84) and Bert Halprin (class of ‘71).
