About the Collection
We created this site as a school project for our Digital Environemnts and Library Users class at the University of Iowa. Christian Brauns created the CollectionBuilder site. Grace Stephens found, analyzed, and compared existing CollectionBuilder sites. Abby Johnson created the presentation.
This site is generated using CollectionBuilder-GH, a project to create a free and simple digital collection using GitHub Pages from:
- a CSV of collection metadata
- a folder of JPG images or PDF documents
The template repository features four objects from the University of Idaho Library’s Digital Collections.

Special thanks to the Iowa City Historical Library for helping us with our research. We also thank CollectionBuilder for providing us with an intuitive walkthrough.
Technical Credits - CollectionBuilder
This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
The site started from the CollectionBuilder-GH template which utilizes the static website generator Jekyll and GitHub Pages to build and host digital collections and exhibits.
