About the Local History Room

The Local History room, located on the lower level of the library, is available as a research, study and meeting space. The room is available for use Monday - Friday, 8am - 6pm, but may be used outside these designated hours with prior approval by Susan Panak. The items on display are part of the Beverly "Becky" Cunningham Local History Collection, a donation to the University Archives that includes photographs, correspondence, family papers, business and organizational records, abstracts, maps, books and pamphlets.
