This is the index page for the Catherine D. and Frederic W. Irwin Collection homepage.   If you do not have the FLASH plug-in installed for your world wide web browser than click on "NON-FLASH" to reach the alternative homepage for the collection.   If you do have flash installed, than click on "FLASH" for the main page.   Most newer browsers have the flash plug-in installed or are at least capable of using the plug-in.   The plug-in is a quick download even for slower modems and it is recommended that you install it for the purposes of seeing this entire web page.   To download the flash plug-in, go to http://www.macromedia.com.   It is advised to visit both pages to see some of the distinct differences in how this information can be presented on a forum such as the web.

It is important to note that on several sections of this web page, including the page you are currently reading, there are links.   Some of these links when clicked do not open up the linked-to page in the same web browser window.   In those cases, the browser window that had the Irwin Collection information will still be open but an additional browser window will open with the linked-to document.   Although this technique is very useful for linking navigating through documents, it can, at times, seem confusing.

For additional information regarding the contents of the collection, please go to the Irwin Finding Aid page at http://www.conncoll.edu/is/info-resources/subject-guides/irwinfa.html.

Information regarding the sponsors of this web page can be found in the non-flash section of the page and/or by following this link: Sponsors.
