It is a very user-friendly institution and they welcomed the library because it also dovetails with their collection of Herman Wells archives. He is a former IU president, Sigma Nu and ardent advocate for Greeks. The items in the collection will be listed on-line so that would-be visitors can make arrangements in advance for what they want waiting for them when they arrive. Already two people are asking to use the material. I am assuming that it will be possible sometime this fall for anyone to have access to the material. Needless to say, I am thrilled with this set-up so that others can benefit from my forty year effort to collect material relevant to our Greek societies. Only the University of Illinois collection comes close to this compilation and while there are many duplications, surprisingly there and many items each of us have that the other doesn't. And if you are a super Greek Geek it is not a long trek between the two spots and you can have a F/S Greek Info Orgy for a road trip!

That's great news. For as much as we try to maintain our individual chapter and sorority/fraternity heritage, it only takes a few years of complacence and the knowledge is gone forever.

I am pleased to report that the collection is now at the Lily Library and currently being catalogued (it was 110 boxes!) and should be available to anyone interested by the first of February. Supposedly you will be able to access what materials are available on-line, call ahead and the items will be awaiting you. For any questions, call Cherry Williams at 812-855-2187. She is a great lady and very accommodating.
