It was a busy summer for the Gore Center, and Fall 2001 is shaping up to be just as busy. In July, the Gore Center’s pictorial history of MTSU was published. It is currently available from Phillips Bookstore on campus or from www.arcadiapublishing.com. Ten percent of the proceeds from the sale of this book will come back to the Gore Center to support our preservation activities.
This fall, Holly Barnett returns to us as a graduate assistant. (See the Fall 2000 newsletter for a biographical sketch). She will be assuming responsibility for our photographic databases. Rich Hutchins has also joined us a graduate assistant and will be working on the Jim Cooper papers. (See this edition of the newsletter for a brief biography of Rich.) In addition to Holly and Rich, eleven undergraduate student workers are providing assistance to the Gore Center this semester. Their work includes transcribing oral histories, re-foldering the Gore Papers, scanning photographs, encapsulating manuscripts, and humidifying and flattening Chancery Court documents for the Rutherford County Archives.
The 2001-2002 academic year promises to be an exciting and productive time for the Gore Center. Please continue to check our website for updates!
