Editorial The Alligator’s archives are now online

t The Alligator’s offi ce, our articles prior to the 2000s are bound in black-spined books. Articles of more recent years are saved in blue binders with the semester and year etched on its side. For student journalists who pass through here, Ait’s a testament to the work and devotion that came before us. For our readers, it’s the fi rst draft of history. But it’s been restricted to the print product. People read through them with Chinese takeout by their side and the paper’s age at the forefront of their minds. But this history is no longer bound to the yellowed news- print. Like the content for the last 10 years, it’s now found a home online thanks to UF Libraries. On Tuesday, librarians announced the digitization of Alligator archives from 1912 to August 1957. About 150,000 pages of Alligator archives are expected to be online by September 2019. All of the pages will be text-searchable. Making our articles accessible to anyone online is huge. Column There are obvious benefi ts, especially for our reporters.

The Struts: Florida Got Soul: Tweet us The UK rock band will headline at High Dive (Pg. 9) Book signing and concert recap (Pg. 10) @TheFloridaAve. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2018 ALLIGATOR 9 MUSIC UK rock band The Struts to perform in Gainesville By Emma Witmer Avenue Writer

U.K. rock group The Struts are taking a pit stop during their international tour with Foo Fighters to perform in Gainesville on Tuesday night. Although this isn’t their only Florida tour date, it’s their only headline show in the state. The Struts will perform 9 p.m. Tuesday at High Dive. Early entry into the High Dive beer garden begins at 7 p.m., with doors to the venue opening at 8 p.m. The Struts will be joined by special guest MONA, a band out of Nashville, Tennessee. Tickets for the show are available at ticketfl y.com for $20 in advance and $23 on the day of the show. High Dive is open to guests 18 or older, and those under 21 will pay an extra $3 convenience fee at the door. The four-piece rock group draws infl uence from rockers of every era. Adam Slack, The Struts’ guitarist, said the band has been infl uenced by several groups. These include everyone from The Rolling Stones to Oasis to Arctic Monkeys and, somewhat randomly, ABBA. Early in their career, The Struts had the opportunity to perform with their idols. Be- fore the release of their debut album, they opened for The Rolling Stones in Paris. The band was also chosen to play as the sup- porting act for Mötley Crüe in their fi nal four performances.
