About
The records presented in this Transcribe UNL project are primarily those created by the University of Nebraska, either faculty or others involved in the development of the university or the developments and discoveries related to Nebraska as a state. Many of the letters and records are associated with research on university history, on the natural environments of Nebraska, and connections among colleagues in the state or elsewhere.
Check out the early history of the University of Nebraska found the minutes of the Board of Regents and other records.
The largest set of letters are those of Professor Charles Bessey, who served at the University of Nebraska as a teacher and as an administrator. When transcribing a letter from his papers (developed from microfilm copies of originals) it's possible to see his views associated with the historic administration of the University. To learn more about Bessey, please check out the student project, "Charles E. Bessey: The Man Behind the Building" on Nebraska U.
