Many people know James Edward Church as the namesake of the Church Fine Arts building, but his influence extends beyond campus. Dr. Church was integral modern snow science through his invention of the Mt. Rose snow sampler and the Libraries steward records related to his work. This project expands access to his work by presenting it online for renewed study.
Funding
The ongoing project to digitize materials from the collection grew out of a partnership with the Church family and involved a team drawn from departments throughout the Libraries. We are so grateful to Dr. Russell Church and the entire Church family's commitment to help make this important collection available online.
