Students create wiki, request photos for Drakepedia building photo archive

This semester, a group of students is working to create a wiki about Drake history, called “Drakepedia,” during the first-year seminar course “Drakepedia ““ Building a Living Archive.”

The class could use your help finding photos of current or razed Drake buildings. Specifically, the class is need of photos from 1990 or earlier. The photos need to be from your own personal collection, not taken by a professional photographer.

Since the class is currently in session, photos should be submitted no later than Thursday, Nov. 18.

You may e-mail scanned copies of the photos, along with your contact information, to susan.breakenridge@drake.edu or you can mail them to:

Susan Breakenridge

“¨Cowles Library

“¨Drake University”¨

2507 University Avenue

“¨Des Moines, IA 50311

Mailed photos will be returned; however, Drake is not responsible for any lost or damaged photographs. A story about “Drakepedia” will appear in eBlue when it is ready for its public debut.
