Central Florida Memory is a unique digital collection of material contributed by partner institutions to create a virtual place where visitors can discover what Central Florida was like before theme parks and the space program. Diaries and letters describe the region and how people survived day-by-day in this extreme and rugged environment. Maps, photographs, and postcards illustrate how the region looked in the early years and how it changed over time. Voters' registration and funeral records and city directories provide demographic information that makes the picture of the Central Florida settler come into focus.
The long-term intent of the project is to provide an online platform and focal point for gathering, preserving, and disseminating the documents, artifacts, and stories of the history of Central Florida. Our interest is in much more than just providing access to or heightening awareness of this history. This project provides educational resources and tools to enhance the delivery of instruction of history at all levels, especially fourth grade students and teachers learning Florida history.
Central Florida Memory is a cooperative project consisting of seven partner institutions: University of Central Florida Libraries, Bethune Cookman University, Museum of Seminole County History, Orange County Library System, Orange County Regional History Center, Rollins College, and Stetson University. Please visit the Central Florida Memory website for more information about the project or to obtain the Digitization Spec Kit.

This digital collection contains selected materials from the Harrison Buzz Price Papers. The reports in digital format are a small percentage of the collection, selected for their research use by the faculty of the Rosen College of Hospitality Management. The entire collection of the Harrison Price Papers contains hundreds of research reports, proposals, speeches, and collected research materials on a variety of projects he conducted between 1955 and 2003. Some materials are restricted due to the donors wishes, but researchers may petition the donor through Special Collections Staff for access.

Calling all UCF thesis and dissertation authors!
The University of Central Florida Libraries invites you to join an exciting project to extend the reach of UCF’s graduate research publications.
Why should I get involved?
Theses and dissertations are commonly used as the basis for research around the world and are popular requests from other libraries and their patrons. While today’s theses and dissertations are published electronically to provide researchers and fellow students with ready access to scholarly materials, many works submitted at UCF before 2004 are only available as print copies on our libraries’ shelves.
How can I help?
With the assistance of UCF thesis and dissertation authors like you, we can begin to transform our print collection of UCF graduate student authored theses and dissertations into a digital collection with unlimited worldwide access. If you published a thesis or dissertation prior to Fall of 2004, please consider allowing us to add your work to the growing digital collection of UCF graduate student publications.
Will it cost me anything?
No. All work will be performed by the University of Central Florida Libraries. However, your permission to reproduce and display your work is invaluable.
What do I need to do?
Simply provide the UCF Libraries with a nonexclusive right to reproduce and post your thesis or dissertation by following the instructions for the Internet Distribution Consent Agreement.
What if I have questions, comments, or concerns?
Kristine Shrauger (407-823-5422 or kshrauge@mail.ucf.edu ) or Lee Dotson at (407-823-1236 or ddotson@mail.ucf.edu ) would be happy to discuss the project with you in greater detail.
