The Bentley Historical Library was established in 1935 by the University of Michigan Regents to carry out two functions: to serve as the official archives of the university and to document the history of the state of Michigan and the activities of its people, organizations and voluntary associations. The materials in the Bentley Historical Library Web Archives reflect the mission and priorities of the library as we seek to preserve online resources of unique, essential, and enduring value.

Title: Persistent Pasts (University of Michigan) Web Archives

URL: https://www.persistentpasts.com/

Collection: University of Michigan Schools, Colleges, Research, Centers, and Institutes Web Archives

Description: "In Spring 2017, the Taubman College Gallery hosted a physical exhibition entitled “Persistent Pasts: The Bicentennial Campus as Archive.” Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the design output of Steven Mankouche’s “What If” Options Studio, Persistent Pasts reflected on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. Coinciding with the University’s Bicentennial year, this exhibition asked how past traditions, tensions, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By revealing rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present, “Persistent Pasts” invited visitors to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be, architecturally and institutionally. This web exhibition presents key elements of “Persistent Pasts” in a digital space, using mapping and visualization technologies developed by the Knight Foundation and ArcGIS. Each of the projects from “The Curated Campus” has been reimagined in this new format, incorporating bonus archival material and process notes that did not appear in the original exhibition. As an additional element of this digital archive, we have also visualized other Bicentennial initiatives as spatial and architectural elements across a map of the UM campus, associating events, other exhibitions, and ongoing programs with the departments or organizations that sponsor them. This “spatial archive” allows viewers to instantly access Bicentennial projects across Central, Medical, and North Campuses. "
