Welcome to the Western Waters Digital Library!
The Western Waters Digital Library (WWDL) is dedicated to providing access to water-related resources regarding the Trans-Mississippi region of North America. The currently available resources include classic water literature, government reports, legal transcripts, water project records, personal papers, photographic collections, and audio/video materials associated with the major river basins of the Western United States.
The WWDL is a collaborative regional project created by twelve project participants in eight western states, which has been supported by grants from the National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS ), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), as well as the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA ).
