Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Waldemar Young

July 1, 1880 - August 30, 1938
Waldemar Young, a grandson of Brigham Young, is best known for his cinematic writing work, having written more than 80 screenplays in a career that saw him collaborate with Cecil B. De Mille, Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Claudette Colbert, and Myrna Loy among other stars of the early silver screen.  His inclusion in The Camelot Project is due to his stage writing, however--specifically a lesser-known play, Birds of Rhiannon: A Grove Play.
