• A Photographic Atlas of Selected Regions of The Milky Way by E.E. Barnard
  "This rendering of E.E. Barnard's 1927 An Atlas of Selected Regions of the Milky Way raises one of the gems of astronomical literature out of near obscurity, an obscurity caused by the small number of copies (probably as few as 700) of the Atlas that were printed in 1927. Obscure also because its initial distribution was mainly only to scientific libraries."  Allan Sandage, Ph.D. Carnegie
• Georgia Tech: Telling It Like It Was
  This joint venture allowed for the Library to digitize the Alumni Department's extensive collection of alumni interviews on video and create a web presence for the Living History Program. In 1994 the Living History Program started collecting stories from Tech alumni. Memories of campus and city life from as early as 1915 provide a rich and varied tapestry of Tech history. The Georgia Tech Archives houses a copy of the complete Living History videotape collection.
