The Multimedia Archivist collected data on the content, quantity, format and condition of these materials. Deaccessioning collections was not a practice UALSC had routinely implemented in the past. However with the additional information collected during this survey obvious candidates for deaccessioning arose.

The University of Arizona Special Collections Library holds a large archive documenting the life of the ship and her crew. To commemorate this anniversary, Special Collections curated an exhibit highlighting materials from the collection and a complete refresh of an existing digital collection that was built in the mid 1990’s. This case study discusses the unique collaborations and partnerships forged by Special Collections with the University of Arizona Athletics Department, University of Arizona Creatives Service & Brand Management Department, and campus and local groups to raise awareness of the exhibit and collection to campus, local, and national communities with emphasis given to promotion via traditional and social media outlets.
