Our digitized UC Cooperative Extension archival collections continue to grow and are accessible through our online repository, Calisphere. Recently, 500 images were added to the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, UC Cooperative Extension Records. Spanning the 1920s through the 2010s, the total number of digitized items from those two counties is now 1,672. In May of this year, UC Merced Library staff met with farm advisors and staff members from the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo UCCE offices to review the Library's work on this collection and to show them how to access the material online. We provided tips on conducting searches, in order to locate items based on key terms, and highlighted themes present in the material. It was exciting to show Cooperative Extension staff material created by their predecessors and to provide them with historical documents related to their important work around the state.

The Archives of Sexuality and Gender now includes a new module titled International Perspectives on LGBTQ Activism and Culture with a focus on South Africa and Australia. It offers coverage of lesbian and feminist organizations, and lesbian culture internationally. The 450,000 pages of content are primarily from 1970-2016, though some coverage dates back to the 1820s.
