Current Online Collections
Deep Blue
Deep Blue is the University of Michigan's permanent, safe, and accessible service for representing our rich intellectual environment online. Our primary goal for Deep Blue is to provide access to the work that makes Michigan a leader in research, teaching, and creativity. UM researchers can set up their own collections in Deep Blue, and deposit their work in it directly. The Library takes care of making sure that work is visible (to ensure others can find it via Google Scholar, for
example) and permanent (via a special technology that ensures no broken links). Deep Blue supports a variety of formats, so we encourage depositing not just the finished work but related materials (including data, images, audio and video files, etc.) to create a comprehensive package that gives context to that work and promotes further scholarship. Finally, we provide this service free to the UM scholarly community.

Labadie (Image collection - UM Only)
The Labadie Collection was established in 1911 when Joseph Labadie, a
prominent Detroit anarchist, donated his library to the University of
Michigan. Although the Collection was originally concerned mainly with
anarchist materials (the field in which it remains strongest), its scope
was later widened considerably to include a great variety of social protest
literature together with political views from both the extreme left and
the extreme right.
The
Middle English Compendium
The Middle English Compendium has been designed to offer easy access to
and inter connectivity between three major Middle English electronic resources:
an electronic version of the Middle English Dictionary, a Hyper Bibliography
of Middle English prose and verse, based on the MED bibliographies, and
a Corpus of Middle English Prose and Verse, as well as links to an associated
network of electronic resources.
