This Tuesday, Lehman Library had the privilege of hosting a reception for Mr. Ed Sheaffer and his contribution to SU history through his years of work on the Partial Index to Events and Individuals in the Shippensburg Area.
The index is a foundational piece of work which has systematically listed newspapers and other archival materials related to the Shippensburg area. This allows for easier accessibility to locate information for researchers and the university's archivist.
The reception was held from 1-3pm in the library and included food & drinks, speeches from faculty and a gallery to showcase a few of the items found in the index.
The gallery will run until next week so please make to check it out before it's gone!
We once again thank Mr. Sheaffer for his dedication to ensuring that Shippensburg history is available to all.
