Historical Google Analytics Usage Reports for CARLI Digital Collections, 2011-2015

The Created Content Committee examines usage quarterly reports created by the Google Analytics tool for the CARLI Digital Collections site as a whole. These reports are used to identify trends amongst the visitors to the Collections, what they are looking for, and how they come to visit the site. The reports were first developed by the former CARLI Digital Collections Users' Group.

Yellow Peril – CARLI Digital Collections Featured Image

Submitted by maroso on Mon, 07/14/2014 - 8:21am

From Naval Flight School (Monmouth College) in CARLI Digital Collections.

Until photographs were able to be developed with color, people often had to guess at the hues of depicted scenes, unless they were present at the time the picture was taken, or the colors were specifically noted on the back. Furthermore, as years pass and stories about the subjects of these images are lost, viewers become less able to tie together the picture before them and the rest of the world that they experience every day. Therefore, when I initially viewed this picture of The Yellow Peril from 1943, I knew nothing about it but that it was probably a yellow airplane. Then I got curious.

From Saint Xavier College and University Images (Saint Xavier University) in CARLI Digital Collections.

As a non-native Illinoisan, the Daley family mystique is a bit lost on me. It becomes readily apparent, however, that the politically accomplished men overshadow the women of the family, who tend toward the obscurity of private life rather than the limelight of public service.
