together multiple perspectives on the civil rights moment and its influence. Lastly, I will focus on materials that drew me to these digital archives. In my study of the influenza pandemic, I centered on Lawrence, Kansas, because of its early cases in the disease timeline. The “Influenza of 1918” subcategory (under “Community Life – Disasters and Accidents”) offers communication from the military camps to the governor about outbreaks, records of influenza cases and deaths, pictures of epidemic monuments and emergency hospitals, and flu prevention cartoons. This collection also uniquely contains photos, letters, military records, and stories of World War I soldiers who died from influenza or pneumonia. As noted in the collection introduction, many of these short biographies were written by the mothers of these soldiers and were recorded by the Kansas State Historical Society and the American Legion. The 20 entries are organized by soldier, with each file containing a photo and handwritten letters, some of which were from soldiers to their mothers. These tragic, personal narratives capture the experience of sickness and death from disease during wartime that is absent from newspaper and magazine articles of the time. They were essential to contextualize my media analysis and humanize the experience. Overall, the Kansas Memory digital archive is an outstanding resource for examining a number of different people, time periods, issues, and types of materials. It is user-friendly and well-ordered, with a search platform that makes it easy to cross categories in the database. That said, it could be more accessible, as the videos lack captions and the handwritten letters may be difficult to decipher.
