About the Collection
This collection is a collaborative effort by students and faculty from various departments at the University of Colorado Boulder to design and maintain a Material Library. A materials library is a browsing collection of physical samples, such as biocomposites, natural and engineered stone, textiles, and other design materials. These collections support teaching, research and creative work by providing tactile access to a wide range of materials, often tailored to the needs of specific disciplines or academic programs.
This site is generated using CollectionBuilder-GH, a project to create a free and simple digital collection using GitHub Pages from:
- a CSV of collection metadata
- a folder of JPG images or PDF documents
The repository currently features 13 objects from the University of Colorado Boulder’s ENVD Material Library.

This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
The site started from the CollectionBuilder-GH template which utilizes the static website generator Jekyll and GitHub Pages to build and host digital collections and exhibits.
