Since 2008 Emory University Libraries has been digitizing thousands of books, many of which are rare, fragile, or otherwise difficult to access. Although they can be discovered through the library catalog, their online presence as digital collections has not previously been showcased. Readux provides a platform to explore and engage with these visually rich and diverse materials including 19th century African American literature and travel guides, early Northern European emblem books, and over 1,200 yellowback novels.
