The Bancroft Website
In January 2002 The Bancroft Library launched a revised and expanded website to better serve its many users. The homepage now has a much different appearance and over the last few months several new webpages have appeared, providing digital access to a wide variety of collections and materials found in the library.
The Cased Photographs Project
http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/casedphotos/project.html
The cased photographs project provides access to digital images and detailed descriptions of
daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and related photographs in the collections of The Bancroft
Library and the California State Library.
The Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute Archives
http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/meiklejohn.html
The Meiklejohn Archives include the best legal "briefs," transcripts, and motions in cases
reported in the Civil Liberties Docket since 1955. For the law profession, these materials have
served as a major resource for lawyers involved in civil liberties cases anywhere in the United States.
