To Protect and Conserve

The Libraries have acquired by gift the archive of alumnus David Bohrman, whose broadcast innovations include laserdiscs, the Magic Wall, and holograms, and whose production credits include Nightline, ABC's World News Now, Moneyline, and The Situation Room.
 

Chinese Railroad Workers in North America

 
Scholars have long known that the Chinese were integral to the construction process of the Transcontinental Railroad, but they knew relatively little about who these workers were, where they came from, what they experienced and what they did after the railroad was completed. Over the past three years a team of Stanford professors has been working to change that through the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project, which was recently awarded funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
