OSUIT Archives and Collections

The materials I have created for OSUIT's archive

Archives General Information

Hello. This is the guide to OSUIT's archive. The archive provides patrons with access to the university's historical materials. The archivist's mission is to preserve, arrange and describe, and provide access to materials of historical value to the university. We have materials of various formats, including photographs, videotapes, DVDs, documents, newsletters, newspaper clippings, and more. Historical information in any physical or digital format is what the archive collects. Below you will find a form for research inquiries, links to our digital archive (ContentDM), our digital collection of audio-visual materials (our Youtube), our catalog of physical materials (ArchivesSpace), and PDFs of our digital newspaper and magazine collection. Visitors are always welcome to explore and look at the physical materials, but please note that a few collections are restricted due to containing confidential information or the material is too fragile.

J. B. Bennett was the former Basketball Coach who ran for state legislature. He has a very heated political rivalry with the campus's second President Wayne Miller (1963-1983). He planned on separating the campus from the OSU system and providing college credit to students (the campus provided college credit starting in 1979).
