Website Furnishes New Look
November 6, 1999The Oberlin College Archives
website is undergoing some major revisions. After evaluating the form
and design of our previous web presence, we decided to revise our
site while taking fuller advantage of this new medium. We anticipate
that this new design will be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
In addition, we plan to increase the site's functionality through
user interactive and multimedia features. This "evolution"
will take place over time, as the College Archives is able to commit
resources to the website project. We welcome your comments and patience
as we begin this arduous task.
