FARRIT

Is a old report from the Commissioner of Immigration, Labor, and Statistics and contains wonderful prommotional-type language describing the bounty of Idaho in all of its agricultural, mineral, and climatological splendor. Such great photographs, too. Take a look at its contents under the Idaho History Resources link.

The Boise Public Library Ethnic History Collection, a collection of digitized clippings from the Idaho Statesman spanning several decades and ethnic groups in Idaho, is now available to search and browse. You can access it from FARRIT's home page and also under the Idaho History and Teacher Resources links. Thanks to Charlotte Fowles and the ICFL for helping us to undertake this project and allow us the use of Content DM!

The next FARRIT meeting has been rescheduled and will now take place on Thursday June 7th at 9:30 AM at the ICFL.  Hope you can make it!

 Thanks

Jim

Being an E-Branch is a fresh look for FARRIT.  However, you will find the same quality Idaho resources, slowly grown over time.  Note that the recent Idaho Books bibliography has grown to nearly 200. In the near future, keep an eye out for  digital newspaper clippings on ethnic groups in the Treasure Valley from the Idaho Statesman as well.
