Digital Collections

The Texas A&M Digital Library provides access to online digital collections in the Texas A&M Repository, the Texas Digital Library (TDL), and through outside entities. Access digital collections through online communities.

Special digital collections include:

Don Quixote Iconography Digital Archive - The Cervantes Project has created an innovative and unprecedented digital archive of images based on the textual iconography of the Quixote, i.e. interpretative illustrations included in published editions of the text. The archive provides free access to rare visual resources, restores the traditional connection between word and image, and facilitates a better appreciation and understanding of the impact of Cervantes’ masterpiece through 400 years, from several perspectives: textual, critical, artistic, bibliographical, and historical.   The Don Quixote Iconography Digital Archive is the result of a collaboration and NEH grant about the illustration of the Quixote.

Geologic Atlas - The Geologic Atlas of the United States is a set of 227 folios published by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1894 and 1945. Each folio includes both topographic and geologic maps for each quad represented in that folio, as well as descriptions of the basic and economic geology of the area. The Geologic Atlas collection is maintained by Map and GIS Collections and Services within the TAMU Libraries.
