Effective immediately, the Ames Library is sponsoring an Archives Exploration and Research Award designed to increase faculty awareness of archives and special collections material available on campus and as a means for encouraging integration of this material into their coursework and research.
The Faculty Development Committee approved a program description and submission guidelines document today and will act as the review authority.
Tate Archives & Special Collections has launched a blog describing collection highlights and offering links to known portions of the collection. Many unexplored corners in the vaults on the 4th floor await!
Additionally, the Archives is devoting one page of its blog to photographs that need additional description. As viewers offer leads, photos will be moved into the official photo site for the historical IWU images.
You can subscribe to keep up-to-date with new additions to the Archives & Special Collections blog or you can stop by the 4th floor and ask in person!
