Special Collections and Archives, a part of the Missouri State University Libraries, has installed a new exhibit in the lobby of Craig Hall at the entrance to Coger Theatre.

The exhibit features images from fifty years of scrapbooks compiled by the Department of Theatre and Dance from the 1940s through the 1990s.

Library Associate Jeffrey Lawson carefully digitized pages from the scrapbooks (some of which are very fragile). The scanned images were used in the display, since the original pages would be damaged from the lights in the display cases and from the light coming from the large windows at Craig Hall.

The display will be up through the spring semester. The original scrapbooks are housed in Special Collections and Archives and are available to researchers.

Any questions can be directed to Archives@missouristate.edu.
