"Imagine Where You Could Be" Exhibit in University Libraries

“Imagine Where You Could Be” Exhibit in University Libraries

The Ball State University College of Architecture & Planning (CAP) Archives and the Geospatial Resources & Map Collection are featuring an exhibit aimed at relieving winter blues. The “Imagine Where You Could Be…” exhibit features items related to summer activities and tropical destinations.

The CAP Archives exhibit is located in the display cases just west of the Architecture Library. This part of the exhibit features documents and drawings like a preliminary sketch of a drive-in movie theater, a plot plan of a baseball park, and even a detailed diagram of mixed drinks, created using architectural symbols. These materials are all part of the CAP Archives collection.

The Geospatial Resources & Map Collection is displaying maps of tropical destinations as part of the exhibit (shown above) on the second floor of Bracken Library. This part of the exhibit features maps of St. Thomas of the U.S. Virgin Islands, a map of Suva in Fiji, and a map of the island of Anguilla. These maps are part of the GRMC collection.

This exhibit will be available through the middle of February. For more information about this exhibit or the materials featured, please contact the staff of the GRMC at 765/285-1097 or Brian Knowles of the CAP Archives at 765/285-5078.
