Recently had a great addition of Sound Generation photos donated to archives, unfortunately the photos were all kept in this sticky kind of photo album.

If you have photos stored in this kind of album, I suggest moving them to a sleeve style album, as these photos have all semi permanently adhered to the pages and require slow and careful removal.

Countdown to Homecoming!

If you're coming this weekend, make sure to drop by and say hi. If you can't make it to the office, be sure to look for our displays around campus!

While I can't post them here, I'd love to hear any memories you have of student events!

The Freshman are here and we're hard at work preparing a scavenger hunt for them!

Trying to turn our logo into a stencil so I can paint the treasure box :D

This past semester, one of my graduating students decided to create something to remember his time in Archives.

I give you, The Archives Awakens, the trailer. Justin poured his heart into this project, and all of us were thrilled to take part in it. Keep an eye out for a special appearance 😉

Today I learned about the wayback machine, and this is the gem I dug up: JBU's website from 1996.

In today's research, we uncovered the fact that the very first WI-Fi hotspots on campus were opened in Spring 2004 - I simultaneous don't remember having it then, and don't remember not having it during all my years on campus.

Ever wonder about our friendly neighborhood eagle? Wonder no more!
