The records of Yale's President, and many university offices, were closed to researchers for thirty-five years. The YDN thus provides the best available material for historical research on Yale activities between 1978 and 1981.Finally, we decided to digitize a very exciting time period that is always in demand amongst students, 1967-1970. During this time Yale and New Haven experienced student protests, a murder and resulting controversial trial of a member of the Black Panthers, and a move toward co-education.
