Wow ~ For people who enjoy seeing how other people live, our Digital Collections is filled with enough material to satisfy every curiosity. A search for “miners,” “cabins,” or “house” will find a variety of home styles, but if your specialty is simple, small, or improvised structures, you’ll need to do a little more sifting. Our gallery below shows a few of the highlights of this genre, but a deeper exploration would be a fun project.
“Wow Photo Wednesday” celebrates photographs in the Denver Public Library’s Digital Collections that have “The Wow Factor” and that highlight the myriad delightful nuggets in our database.
