Spotlight on
Special Collections
Herbert M. Webster Photograph Collection — University of Tennessee – Knoxville
Herbert M. Webster began chronicling his adventures of the Great Smoky Mountains at age 16 when he attended at Rotary Club camps for underprivileged boys is Gatlinburg. He has since captured many enduring images of the Smoky Mountain backcountry, including nearly 600 images in this collection.
Live from a Dark Room — University of Louisville
The Live from a Dark Room exhibition photographs digital collection features 290 images used in a 2018 exhibit in Archives & Special Collections by the same name. This exhibit, and now digital collection, offers a wide sampling of the bands, people, venues, and photographers that have defined rock, indie, punk, and hardcore music in Louisville. Like the exhibition from which it derived, this digital collection is in no way comprehensive—many vital Louisville musicians and bands are not represented. This digital collection is a part of the Louisville Underground Music Archive (LUMA), founded in 2013 by the University of Louisville Libraries’ Archives and Special Collections (ASC), which documents the history and culture of the Louisville rock music scene from the 1970s to the present.
