What a busy summer it’s been here at the {salt} Mines. There is so much to tell you. Deep breath:
- We’ve been digitizing everything we can lay our hands on.
- 100 years ago (July 1, 1911) Professor C.C. O'Harra assumed the post of President of the South Dakota State School of Mines. Professor O'Harra came to campus July 1, 1896, as a professor of geology. He continued to lead the campus until his death in 1935.
- We've added a bunch of new books, documents, and media to the collection; and are adding a large donation of audio CDs.
- We have lots of resources available online. Remember, you can use VPN to access electronic resources
