With IU East’s fortieth anniversary rapidly approaching, we’ve been sorting through the archives and finding all kinds of interesting pictures from our university’s past. There’s only one problem – a lot of them have no identification!
And that’s where we need your help. This Friday, December 3rd, from 11-1, the library will host a picture party, and we encourage you to come help us identify these pieces of our history. And even if you haven’t been at IU East long, it’s still a good opportunity to hear some great stories about our past!
We have hundreds of pictures we need to identify – who is in them, what’s going on, when it’s happening. Even if you can’t be at the party, you can see all the photos online at flickr.com/iuelibrary. To help us identify them, just type information in the comments boxes. Our archivist can use that information to tag all the photos for a digital collection so they can be easily searched.
Please RSVP to fyates@iue.edu if you’re interested in attending – we hope to see you there!
