Several years ago, the University of Dayton Archives had MS Access databases created to provide a search interface for staff to query the Flyer News and Campus Report indexes by person, reporter, or subject. While this interface was sufficient for the staff, it did not provide an accessible way for anyone outside of the Archives to research articles, and the interface itself was limited. One of my projects in 2024 was to migrate the databases to MariaDB and develop a publicly available web interface. The information in the index will remain static beyond linking newly digitized articles, so an entire CRUD site was unnecessary.
