High Tech High: Computing In Our Early Days, Christian D. Nøkkentved, Ralph Flickinger

Archives Exhibits

In 1986, when IMSA first opened its doors to students, Plato, NovaNET, MacIntosh Plus and the Dat. Lab, even track paper all played an essential role in connecting IMSA to the emerging digital world. IMSA’s library, for example, boasted digital technology on par with the Ivy League university libraries. Like the rest of the world, IMSA has continued to expand and update its use of digital technologies, and as we move towards AI, this exhibit celebrates computing in our early days.

Archives’ Open Storage, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

What a strange exhibit! There appears to be neither rhyme nor reason to what is here. Well, truth be told, this is not an exhibit. What you see here are artifacts or documents or images that are not part of an exhibit, and what is here may change periodically. Since we cannot show it all, Open Storage is another way of sharing more of the things in our physical collections. We have modelled this approach from other museums and archives.

Imsa Royalty: Celebrating Students’ Long History Of Inclusion, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

Student Voices: Publications From The Archives, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

Here we see, among others, copies of The Rice Bowl, The Gender Reader, Minority Report, RYE (a student satire magazine), and, of course The Acronym, in fact the very first issue. Some only had short runs, others lasted for years and the oldest continuing publication is our school student newspaper, which is appearing in hard copy again after years of being on-line. These publications cover a wide range of topics and with so many others are all housed in the Archives.

Imsa Apparel, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

IMSA students exhibit a high degree of creativity when they design tee-shirts, like the one for Harambee, or Jazz Band, or Senior Class club. And then there are sports uniforms. Did you know that one of the early teams had a corduroy baseball cap. All are part of the Archives’ extensive collection of IMSA apparel club, including Class Club tee-shirts, former sports uniforms and hats, and even an apron used by a member of the faculty serving breakfast to the seniors on the morning of graduation day. This exhibit includes that apron, some tee-shirts, and hats including the corduroy one.

Remember 1994, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

In the Summer of 2022, Rich Bergstrom (class of 1994) asked that the Archives store the time capsule that his class had put together before they graduated. Per the plan, the capsule was opened at the 20 – year reunion, a few things were added, and it was then reopened again at the reunion five years later. This exhibit includes selections from the time capsule, including samples of the orange carpeting, Ramen Noodle packages, the audio tape Boyz II Men (with the favorite song of the class “It’s so Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday,” and a bedsheet with everyone’s …

Postcards From Abroad, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

The postcards came from all corners of the wide, wide world, Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. IMSA students and alumni/ae sent them with pictures of places they were visiting to Dr. Nokkentved, who added them to his collection (now in the Archives). This exhibit is a smaller version of “IMSA and the Wide, Wide World” from 2015 (See the description for the exhibit “IMSA and the Wide, Wide World” below).

Mexican Romantic Postcards, Center For Southwest Research

Love in the Archives 2019

This collection of “cartulinas de amor” represents a little studied aspect of post-revolutionary Mexican culture and middle class ideals. These images and texts show the intimate part of society, the changing mores, views of family, home and society. The collection affords the opportunity to view many disciplines, including portrait photography, art, intimacy, love, courtship, family, family relationships, class and gender.

The collection consists of postcards that date from 1908 to the 1940s with the majority in the teens, 1920s and 1930s. Most are photographic portraits of anonymous subjects, while others feature songs, poems, or portraits of celebrities such as Lupe …

Leon Lederman, Honoring Our Founder, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Archives Exhibits

To honor Dr. Leon Lederman (15 July 1922-3 October 2018), a Nobel Laureate and former Director of Fermi Lab, and most importantly one of the founders of IMSA. After retiring as director of Fermi Lab, Dr. Lederman served as our resident scientist. In that capacity, he organized the Great Minds Program through which he invited scientists and other scholars to campus. Typically, the visitor would interact with students in the afternoon and then hold a more formal lecture in the evening, often open to the Aurora community.

Notice especially some of his wonderful doodles and cartoons included in this exhibit.

In Memory Of Dr. Leon Lederman, Christian D. Nøkkentved

Nebraska Intellectual Freedom Manual, Round Table On Intellectual Freedom, Nebraska Library Association, Michael J. Elsener, Sue Ann Gardner, K. Joan Birnie, Karen Drevo, Brenda Ealey, Timothy Lentz, Todd Schlechte

Zea E-Books Collection

Much has changed in libraries and society since the publication of the 2004 revision of the Nebraska Library Association Intellectual Freedom Manual. The consensus of the current members of the Nebraska Library Association round table on Intellectual Freedom (NLA IF) was not to just revise the former manual, but to create an entirely new edition. In doing so, the authors have addressed a number of new issues. The intention was to keep it relatively brief but still useful. Readers should be able to read sections independent of one another for quick reference on topics of interest. For readers of …

Archives Exhibits

Grace Yang (Class of 2000) and Dr. Christian Nøkkentved standing in front of the special exhibit “IMSA and the Wide, Wide World” at an alumni/ae reunion. Since its very beginning there have been connections between the people of IMSA and the world. Those connections have ranged from informal to formal, from individual to group experiences of students, teachers and staff, from presentations at international conferences to exchange programs, and there have been visits of government and institutional officials. Moreover, the people of IMSA have participated both as travelers and as hosts. This exhibit illustrates some of those experiences in and …
