Digital Collections

The Furman Digicenter creates and enriches digital collections to be used for instruction. To this end, the Digicenter adds value to its collections by linking digital objects with related data, such as to maps, timelines, and related information. The Digicenter's collection is built on and powered by LUNA Insight.

The Digicenter has some collections that are open to the public and some that require a Furman network username and password. These are available online at http://luna.furman.edu
