This year’s Did U Know series is kicking off the season by highlighting University Archives on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 10 a.m. in Cowles Library, Room 201.

In University Archives, you can find everything from the Ding Darling Collection and Tom Harkin Papers to unique items such as half a gold medal mounted on a plaque to commemorate the first gold medal won by a Drake athlete in an individual event at the Drake Relays.

The presenters, Claudia Frazer, director, University archives and special collections; Hope Bibens, political papers archivist and assistant professor of librarianship; and Katherine Lincoln, University archives associate, will cover what they do, what they have, and what they collect during this one-hour presentation. In addition, they will share some of their most interesting artifacts.
Participants will earn Bulldogs United in Learning Drake (BUILD) credits and be entered into a drawing at the end of the semester.
