For Archives Month, Candace Pine, manuscripts librarian, takes us on a 10-minute behind-the-scenes tour of the Walter Havighurst Special Collections and University Archives at Miami University, showcasing two collections in particular: Gene Krebs, former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, and Rick Ludwin, former NBC executive (Primetime, Late Night, and Specials).

See more information about Rick Ludwin and the collection finding aid. Further information about Gene Krebs will be forthcoming on the website soon (collection still being processed).

NOTE: The Society of Ohio Archivists Advocacy and Outreach Committee unfortunately needed to cancel the behind-the-scenes virtual Zoom tours for this year. But we are happy to share this recording that Miami decided to proceed with! We have high hopes for next year, and plan to make these behind-the-scenes “crawls” a regular part of our Archives Month promotions in future years.

Please see also the virtual archives tours from our June Annual Meeting. This session, now on SOA’s YouTube, featured a general repository tour at Miami University with Rachel Makarowski and Candace Pine; University of Dayton with Amy Rohmiller and Kristina Schulz; and the Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions with Gino Pasi.
