The students selected a variety of activities which will go more in depth with Research & Instruction and Collection Development & Management. Due to their interest in archival studies, both chose to work with University Archivist Lynn Brock on their major project. Emma, an English major, is transcribing a literary journal compiled by Clara McMillan, from the Martha McMillan collection. She is also investigating the origins of the included works to determine if any are original compositions. Madi, a History major, is assisting with some sections of the literary journal but spending most of her time creating a content inventory of former Cedarville University president Dr. James T. Jeremiah's scrapbooks. The Library independent study course is offered in cooperation with the Department of English, Literature & Modern Languages. Biblical Heritage Gallery Each year, during the month of January, Cedarville University celebrates Charter Day to commemorate the issuing of Cedarville’s founding charter on January 26, 1887. But a few short years later, in 1890, the dream of a college established in Cedarville almost died. Revisit those fraught days from the charter to the first commencement with the Biblical Heritage Gallery’s current exhibit “From Dream to Reality: The Founding of Cedarville College, 1887-1897.” The early documents of Cedarville’s history tell the story of how God worked through individuals to enable the college to fulfill the vision of its founders. The exhibit is on display in the Library’s upper level from January 10 to March 9 and is also available online. Emma Bapst Madi Kennedy
