Were you at Georgetown in the ‘60s and ‘70s? Would
you like to revisit those years online?
Lauinger Library is pleased to announce that The Hoya (1959-1980)
has been digitized and is available for searching and browsing.
The project was a collaboration of DigitalGeorgetown, the University
Archives, Lauinger’s Digital Library Services and the Washington
Research Library Consortium (WRLC).
The digitization of The Hoya was made possible in part through
generous donations from Georgetown University alumni who were
former Hoya editors and writers.
Student newspapers are a unique resource for the study of social,
cultural, and political history. They provide a voice for each
new generation and display an insight not always reflected by
the established media. The current holdings included in this
digital collection include The Hoya, 1959-1980 and The
Eagle (American University), 1925-1996. Through the student newspapers
from Georgetown University and American University, researchers
can gain an understanding of the student perspective of campus,
local, and national events.
DigitalGeorgetown, a partnership among all of Georgetown’s
libraries and a collaboration with University Information Services
and the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship, supports
the advancement of education and scholarship at Georgetown and
contributes to the expansion of research initiatives, both nationally
and internationally. Visit DigitalGeorgetown and The Hoya at:
