Flying bees, North Korean propaganda, and Catholicism in Los Angeles are just some of the subjects depicted in the more than 41,000 new items that have recently been added to Calisphere.

Calisphere’s new metadata infrastructure has made it possible to aggregate and provide access to more digital content than ever before. To put the recent growth into perspective: this time last year, on the old platform, Calisphere provided access to approximately 250,000 digital objects; today, the new site has almost double that amount and is fast approaching half a million items!
