Exhibits
The University of Arizona institutional repository has extended traditional functions to include exhibits of digital collections. Through the coming months, we will create and convert dozens of exhibits, each of which will become permanent additions to the University's infrastructure and public offerings.
Photographs by Homer L. Shantz
from the Smithsonian African Expedition, 1919-1920
Images by a pioneer in vegetation and soil mapping. These photographs, from the first of three trips Shantz made to Africa, document natural vegetation and soil profiles, agriculture and horticulture, markets and other activities, during a journey from South Africa to Egypt. Shantz’s role was to survey plant resources for future development, and to create a vegetation map of the surveyed areas.
