The timeline uses the freely available MooTools library as well as the AJAXSLT library from Google Code. All other code and images are owned by Purdue University. Please ask permission before re-use.

E-Archives

Many of the images used are available in high-resolution from the Purdue E-Archives project.

E-archives, the libraries' digital archive of historical material, is a dynamic collection of materials. Constantly growing, recent additions to E-archives include photos of Purdue Athletics, the Krannert Magazine, all of the Purdue Newsreels, and photos of the Agronomy Department. In the near future, we will be adding the entire run of the Debris yearbook and the Board of Trustees meeting minutes from 1865 to present.
