Today on Juneteenth we acknowledge and celebrate the official end of enslavement in the U.S. that took place on June 19, 1865. As we remember those who were never able to see freedom during their lifetimes, consider the stories and histories that we lost with them.
Filmmakers Lori Korngiebel and @DonHahn tapped into the IU Archives for their beautiful @disneyplus documentary on @IUTheatreDance alum, Howard Ashman. You can read more about their archival discoveries on their guest blog post!

Bernie's ready to get going in our reading room but he forgot to put his coat & (amazing) gloves in a locker! He also forgot that we are still assisting researchers virtually.

December 17, 1990: @IUBloomington's iconic Student Building goes up in flames shortly after 10 PM. A number of the custommade bells were broken; these were saved and recently repurposed for @IUbicentennial medals!
Throwback to getting visits from @ICANdogs & other pups at the office --> one thing I have missed this semester. Jags, think you can share pics of your dogs so I can have some virtual visits today? @IUPUI
We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of IU alumna and @IUMediaSchool benefactor Audrey Beckley. In 2019, she was featured in a blog post in which she talked about meeting her future husband Ken. Listen here: https://t.co/x0r7c23EaP
We are mourning the loss of Audrey Beckley, BS'64, a loyal friend of The Media School: https://t.co/eEltDg7SgY. Every student who has trained in the Ken and Audrey Beckley Studio has benefited from her support and generosity.
