Vincennes History Games and Activities

An educational resource focusing on Vincennes history has been created by Shake Reference Assistant Diane Stepro. The resource, which was completed as part of her graduate work toward the Masters of Library Science degree at Indiana University and IUPUI, makes use of some of the historical electronic texts made available by Lewis Library staff during Spring Semester 2007.

Vincennes History Games and Activities includes Quiz Games, Word Searches, Puzzles, Essay Questions, links to local historic sites, and a Field Trip Planner for people interested in visiting Vincennes. The materials on the site are suitable for history students, whether in 4th grade Indiana history classes or at the college level. Letters have been sent to area 4th grade teachers informing them of the usefulness of the game.

To visit the resource, access it from the Lewis Library home page or at the following link:

VU Art Inventory Underway

Librarian Jill Larson has been involved in a recent, ongoing inventory of Lewis Historical Library paintings and other artifacts own by Vincennes University.

Though Lewis Library’s primary mission is focused on printed materials, manuscripts and photographs of a historical, genealogical and archival nature, Lewis Library also is responsible for maintaining the VU art and artifact collection. University employees are encouraged to check out paintings from the Lewis Art Collection, and keeping track of these paintings, statues, furniture and other items can be a challenging task, at times.

Employees are asked to contact Lewis Library staff if paintings are to be moved to a different location, or if they would like to return an art work to the library for storage. Jill has been sending out campus-wide emails as part of the inventory process, and she reports good response from VU employees in helping her record locations of some artifacts.

If you know of any artwork, statuary, artifacts or other items that have been stored away in closets or attics, or have any questions about them, please contact Jill at jlarson@vinu.edu (or call 888-4330) to help her with the inventory.
