Ryan White Letters
The Ryan White collection at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis formed the basis for the Museum’s most compelling permanent exhibit, The Power of Children, which tells the powerful stories and impact made by three extraordinary children: Ryan White, Anne Frank, and Ruby Bridges. The lives of these youth inform an array of Power of Children programs and events popular with families, students, and educators who visit the Museum. A valuable primary source subgroup of this collection, currently limited in usage, is Ryan’s compilation of letters that were written to him as a child in response to his internationally-known efforts to educate the public about HIV/AIDS. To fully leverage this resource and build upon one of its most well-known experiences, the Museum partnered with the IU Indianapolis University Library Center for Digital Scholarship to digitize and preserve the letter collection online. This project will serve as a step in bringing an array of documents and objects related to Ryan’s life to audiences through a publicly accessible, online archive.

Center for Earth and Environmental Science
The Center for Earth and Environmental Science is a research center that works to make dramatic contributions to environmental science within the State of Indiana, the Midwest, and beyond. In 1996 IUPUI began a collaboration with the Center for Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) and the IUPUI Department of Geology to produce and convert spatially-referenced data sets and maintain an archive of GIS data. This cooperative agreement between CEES and the IUPUI University Library increases the availability of a wide variety of spatial information and provides exciting opportunities in the use of GIS for students and the local community. A grant from the Library Fund of the Indianapolis Foundation provided the ability to create the Electronic Atlas of Central Indiana.
