Portales, NM – April 16, 2024 – Eastern New Mexico University announced today that the Golden Library Archives has digitized the collection of all ENMU Silverpacks, the University yearbooks, dating from 1935-2008.
"I am beyond excited to see this project come to fruition," said Regina Bouley-Sweeten, Archives and Special Collections Librarian. "So many people will use this collection, from alumni and their families to local community members to researchers and more. I especially want to thank the ENMU Foundation for funding the digitization of the yearbooks."
The Silverpack was the student yearbook of Eastern New Mexico University. It was first published in 1935 as the Annualette, but it acquired the name Silverpack the following year in 1936. The final year of publication was 2008. A different staff of ENMU students put together each volume and represents the student's interests, priorities, world views, and creative flair.
A complete listing of the newly digitized ENMU Silverpacks can be found at enmu.edu/Silverpack. The general public can view hard copies of the Silverpack at the Golden Student Success Center. For more information on ENMU Special Collections, visit enmu.edu/SpecialCollections.
