    <pre> Hello Imagelib'ers,

    Here's a short message inviting you to visit a new Web exhibit at the U of Arizona. "The Little Cowpuncher: Rural School Newspaper of Southern Arizona" http://digital.library.arizona.edu/cowpuncher/

    The Little Cowpuncher was a typed/mimeographed newsletter composed in the late 1930s and early 1940s for several Southern Arizona ranch schools. It is a unique artifact -- remnants of it are housed in the UA's special collections and at the Arizona Historical Society in Tucson. Joan Sandin, a local writer of children's books, discovered it a few years ago when doing research for a book. We looked at the original, which was deteriorating terribly, and got a small grant to help fund creating a Web version that conveys the look and feel of the original. There's more detail on the site's "Project History" page.

    I think the online version will become popular with today's Arizona school students and teachers. There is a mix of Spanish and English on the 400+ newsletter pages and some charming illustrations. Joan has identified some of the original "little cowpunchers" who still live in Southern AZ and we have just submitted a proposal for new funding to support interviewing these folks and streaming video of the interviews.

    Feel free to email me any comments. Regards, Stuart
