Labor+Archive

Focusing primarily on "Labor and the Left," NYU's [|Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Archives] combines links with an array of images to give the viewer several options for navigating. On left side of the page is a bar containing some basic links (home, collections library, about the site), but the center of the page has other links which seem to do a better job of capturing the viewer's attention. In addition to these options, some pictures include links to more images, allowing the viewer to search for information by clicking on the image. Most pictures provide additional context by including captions below them. It's interesting that the online exhibits, which are located in the center of the page, command more attention than the collections page. Getting to the actual archives seems to be tedious, but the finding aids are very helpful.
