This is the homepage of the LHC Repository System. From here, you can access information about the various collections held by LHC.
Accessions - These are the umbrella records of donations (and occasionally purchases) held by the LHC. The specific objects in the collection are given object numbers, and the first 7 digits of those object numbers are the accession number. The accession records don't have any information about the objects themselves.
These object records are found in the 6 principle collections:
Archives - These are collections of papers for an individual or institution.
Audio - This is primarily the oral history audio collection, although it also includes other audio material such as speeches, music, etc.
Library - This is the collection of books, pamphlets, brochures, magazines, etc.
Artifacts - These are the records describing the hundreds of artifacts that LHC has in it's collection, such as bottles, buttons, pins, shovels, knobs, etc.
Images - The largest collection at LHC, the images repository consists of photographs, maps, drawings, posters, etc. Last, there are
Subject Boxes - Boxes with collections of materials. This is the only repository content type not linked to an accession record.
Summary - Number of records of each content type.
