The cARTalog grows from the drawers of the University of Iowa Libraries' main card catalog, which was retired in 2004. The cARTalog project organizers were able to salvage approximately only one quarter of the UI's card catalog for the project; the remaining cards were hauled away to recycling. The UI Libraries is only one of several libraries that have sought to honor the waning card catalog with a lasting monument or ceremony. cARTalog hopes to find as many creative uses as possible for the salvaged card catalog cards and generate a sense of community among those who loved the card catalog. This collection encompasses a portion of the work created by participants.
