Another successful History Harvest 🌾 in the books! Thanks to the Collinsville Memorial Library Center for hosting - we loved hearing everyone’s stories of how their families came to Madison County!

Pictured: @meg_smith0913 and SIUE history major Phill Hermeyer puzzle out some 19th century German handwriting.

(Fun fact from your resident medievalist: the skill of deciphering old handwriting is called paleography. It’s harder than it looks!)

Thanks to our wonderful #DigitalHumanities students for sharing their work and to the community members who came to support them and learn about their community-engaged projects! What a great way to wrap up and reflect on a busy semester in IRIS.

History: harvested ✅

Thanks to everyone who came to the History Harvest at the Madison County Archival Library! We heard so many rich stories about the people and processes that have brought people into and through Madison County. Watch for another event in December!
