URLs to the original online location are provided on each collection or item record.

The Collections page allows users to explore the thematic collections curated by DLORI partner institutions. The institution filter allows the collections to be narrowed down to specific institutions/libraries.

The Items page will display all individual items currently available on DLORI. Items can be filtered by subject, creator, or date.
