New Digital Collection – 50 Years of Periphery

In the Spring of 1963 Drake students put together the first issue of a new publication dedicated to literature and poetry. Over the years this journal has expanded to include art and design.

To commemorate 50 years of continuous publication of this unique and celebrated publication, Cowles Library has digitized our holdings of the journal. Visit the collection and see what Drake students have been creating over the past half century.

Find it at Cowles – Drake Biography Files

 

Cowles Library has long been the home of numerous biography files on a combination of Drake faculty, alumni, and administrators. In August 2010, Cowles Library began archiving these files for researchers, as well as preserving them for future generations.

The approximately 3,360 files in this project have now all been archived. Every name has a “biography sheet”, and many also have accompanying newspaper articles, campus announcements or memos, and photographs.

Go to our Finding Aid to see whom you can find in our biography files.
