As the new academic year begins, this month’s cover features an historical image of the University of Michigan (UM) campus titled “Filtered light. From Diag to North University Avenue, early 1930s [with woman].” Taken by Ivory Photo of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the image is part of the university’s Bentley Historical Library Bentley Image Bank.

The Bentley Historical Library collects materials for, and promotes the study of, the histories of UM and the State of Michigan. The Bentley Image Bank includes approximately 5,000 digital images scanned from the library’s diverse collections. The Bentley Image Bank is available at http://quod.lib.umich.edu/b/bhl/.
