Cornell Law Library - Scottsboro
I like how this page on a particular collection almost acts as a research guide, with cited sources at the end for further research.

FOR FURTHER READING (AND WATCHING)
Cornell Law School Professor Faust Rossi has written an account of the Scottsboro case, appearing in two parts, in the Cornell Law Forum, Winter 2002 and Spring 2003 issues.

Interesting to use outside sites for help
Studies in Scarlet
Visually it would be nice if this page had the same look as the main library pages. But all the links on the left for searching the collection seem like tools that might be necessary for a larger effort, such as online collection of incunabula
Nuremberg Trials Project -- Introduction
this must be an older website that is so boring to look at by comparison!
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Digital Collection
-
- All items in the Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Visual Materials Collection including photographs, etchings, drawings, and paintings of Holmes, his parents Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Amelia Jackson Holmes, and his wife Fanny Dixwell Holmes.
- Images of the unique and varied items contained in the Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. object collection including Civil War uniform relics, family and personal effects, and a death mask.
Reproduction & Publication
Don't know if we have so many policies, but interesting to consider
Planning Your Visit
This may be redundant when considering the law library page as a whole, but also have to consider people who are looking at our site solely because of interest in our Special Colls
Research Assistance
Do we need something like this, rather than just our contact info?
Special Collections
I think Harvard might be using more standard language for some of its subpages, like "About Special Collections" rather than our own "Collection Information"; "Planning Your Visit" rather than our "Guidelines for Use of Special Collections"--our page could probably be more general too
History of the Harvard Law School Library
History of Burns library itself might also be worthwhile?
Harvard Law Library: History of Special Collections
Maybe history of our collection is worth separate subpage under "Collection Information"?
The Collections
I like that website also includes old photographs
