Additional Description

Immediate Source of Acquisition

This collection was started based on files originally maintained by the BGSU Department of Marketing and Communications and received by the University Archives circa 2015. It has been added to as news articles have appeared in local newspapers and as appropriate materials (such as obituaries and additional publicity) were found in other collections. It is anticipated that additions to this collection will occur on a regular basis.
