That was my second choice after Howard. IU also houses the Center for the Study of the College Fraternity. My only thing is that they seem to focus on everything but history.

Very good point. Maybe it's time for them to add a focus on history?

Yesterday I finalized an agreement to donate the library to the Center for the Study of College Fraternities located at Indiana University in Bloomington. The collection will actually be housed in the Lilly Library. 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!
