Currently on display in the

issues of the campus newspaper,
ranging from 1968 to 1987.
The exhibit was assembled for

second installation of the display
will feature issues from 1988 to
the present and will debut mid-
November.

in communications, created
the display with Heidi Abbey,
Humanities Reference Librarian

Most send their materials to
University Park, said Abbey.
The archival processing of
the student newspaper began in
the spring of 2007 when Abbey
contacted then editor of the
Capital Times, Marin Bendoritis.
Bendoritis and Abbey gathered
old issues of the student paper,
which were then transferred to
the library.
Along with old issues kept on
the second floor of the library,
the papers then had to be sorted
and organized and put into
chronological order. From there,
two of the best-kept copies of
each issue were chosen and
stored. The last step was to create
an inventory list.
After the collection was properly
processed, the exhibit was
designed,
