 Through
a grant from the Colorado Digitization Program, the Carnegie Branch
Library has been scanning documents and photographs from their
collection that pertain to the history of the Boulder-Colorado
Sanitarium. This digitization project, divided among many
Colorado historical institutions, promoted various causes for
the westward movement to and through Colorado.
 The
Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium, an offshoot of the Kellogg
Sanitarium of Battle Creek, MI, was established in Boulder in
1894. Although it started as a small dwelling on University
Hill, two years later the main Sanitarium at 4th and Maxwell was
completed. Initially begun as a tubercular sanitarium, it soon
became popular among people desiring the healthy lifestyle led
by the Seventh Day Adventists.
The Carnegie
Branch Library for Local History has scanned their entire
collection of photographs and documents into the Library's
database. Using the Boulder Public Library's online catalog,
a quick WORD
search of the "Boulder-Colorado
Sanitarium" will bring up items in the "223" photo collection
and "328-145" document collection as well as other documents
pertaining to the Sanitarium. A search by LOCAL CALL
NUMBER and the numbers "223" or
"328-145" will bring up these two specific collections
and their entire contents. Patrons
may view these collections from any Internet
computer and see what life was like in Boulder in the early to
mid-1900's.
