7. IUPUI Library Hosts National Touring Exhibition Reminder:
The University Library of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) will serve as a regional host for a national traveling exhibition to America's libraries, organized by the American Library Association. The Frontier in American Culture, scheduled for presentation September 3 - October 15, 1998, was organized in cooperation with and based on the Graff and Ayer collections of the Newberry Library, Chicago.
The national exhibition explores how a single set of cultural icons (Log
Cabins, Covered Wagons, Pioneers, Indians, Frontier Farms) has resonated
so powerfully among a diverse national population, and examines the
stories Americans tell about this country's frontier past. To understand
the attractiveness and influence of the frontier, this exhibition looks at
two compelling sources of frontier stories:
Frederick Jackson Turner's famous lecture and article, "The Significance
of the Frontier in American History," and Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West
and Congress of Rough Riders.
To supplement the presentation of the exhibition, the IUPUI University Library will host a series of presentations, activities and displays featuring faculty, authors and professionals of IUPUI and other Midwest universities, and partnerships with Indianapolis cultural institutions. The focus of these programs will include the national frontier perspective, as well as that of the Old Northwest and Indiana Territory. (See below for a complete schedule of activities).
Exhibition programs presented by the IUPUI University Library are free to the public and will take place in the Library facility located on the IUPUI campus at 755 West Michigan Street. For general exhibition information, call (317) 278-0232, (317) 274-4586 or go to the University Library Internet address of http://www-lib.iupui.edu/frontier/
Funding for the national exhibition has been provided by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Washington, D.C. Local funding for this program has been provided by the Indiana Humanities Council.
