Staff from Fort Hays State University\u2019s Tebo Library helped celebrate American Archives Month on Wednesday by showcasing items from the campus\u2019s history at its University Archive Pop Up. Archive and Special Collections Librarian Ron Martin-Dent presented items that represented turning points in FHSU\u2019s development and educated students about their importance to the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the library currently under construction, I wanted to go into the vault and grab things to give students a chance to see some of the materials that are in the archive,\u201d Martin-Dent said. \u201cWe have a couple of bits of realia, the original bell from the Catherine School and the hammer used for making Picken Hall. We have a few yearbooks from 1925, 1944 and 1969, a master\u2019s thesis from one of the faculty members on campus who did her master\u2019s degree. We also have some floppy disks, scrapbooks, lantern slides and a couple of souvenirs from the old mascot, a couple of pennants, some buttons and a paddle that was one of the sororities\u2019 until it closed in 1985.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
