This month’s cover features a photograph of the atrium of the Ford Library on the campus of the Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) circa 1935. The building, which served as the first dedicated library building at the college, opened to the campus community in 1929.

The image is part of the Eastern Michigan University Archives collections. The archives were established in 1970 to preserve the history of the institution and has evolved into a place that provides a space for student-centered experiential learning; promotes fair and balanced historical research; supports, embraces and engages members of diverse groups and identities; and respects the legacy of the records creators.
