Credit: University of Missouri COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Passports are a tangible way of showing where one has traveled, as the stamps provide a chronological order that traces an individual's journey across international borders. When an object's origins are not readily apparent, a variety of sources can be relied upon to learn more, which might include labels, sales receipts, foreign translations, oral histories, GPS coordinates and itemized personal possessions. That documentation is an example of provenance, or the origins of an object and where it has traveled throughout history. Sarah Buchanan, an assistant professor in the University of Missouri's College of Education, is an archivist, a professional who assesses, collects and preserves various artifacts and archives them to better understand their origin and cultural heritage.
The museum of art and archaeology is being relocated from Mizzou North to the inside of Ellis Library as a part of MU’s Space Reduction and Strategic Relocation Plan. It will be located on the lower level and display a selection of pieces. These are yet to be determined as the museum staff decides how to best utilize the space. On March 4, MU published a news release detailing the plan. It includes the vacating of Mizzou North on Business Loop 70. Plans to sell the building were announced in 2018 and according to the Columbia Daily Tribune, a buyer is being sought out.
The Ellis Library & Reference Center, 3700 S. Custer Road, will be closed for two weeks because a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. The Monroe County Library System issued the closing announcement Thursday on social media; explaining shortly afterward via press release and a notice on their website what the situation was. All other branches of the Monroe County Library System remain open; that decision was made in mid-February. For the most part, library services have been by appointment with curbside services available. Book clubs and story times are meeting remotelyl. “We have a comprehensive COVID Response Plan in place and we are implementing it now,” Library Director Nancy Bellaire said in the announcement.
Most branches of the Monroe County Library System have reverted to curbside services, the library staff announced. The decision was effective Friday; and "was made as a precautionary measure in light of the recent COVID-19 quarantine closing taking place at the Ellis Library & Reference Center." Under the current order, Ellis is closed entirely while the other branches will provide requested books and materials via "touch free curbside only." This is an option that the library system has used before during the COVID-19 pandemic; until recently the library buildings were open to the public by appointment. Book clubs and story times were meeting remotely.
The goal is to digitize the 1920 through 1923 editions of Monroe's newspaper. Andrew Clark, director of the museum, said in the announcement, "these papers were selected because of condition ... and because the 1920s were a significant era in the city and county's development." The contest is through the Clarke Historical Library at Central Michigan University; and the Monroe County Museum is one of four finalists. The other finalists for this year's CMU effort are Beaver Island, Belleville and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saginaw. Those years of The Monroe Evening News were archived years ago on microfilm, and existing microfilm is one of the requirements to enter this contest. But the existing microfilms need to be viewed and read in person, such as on the reference room machines at Ellis Library and Reference Center. It is through the microfilm collection that The Monroe News staff pulls details for the monthly "100 Years Ago" print and online feature that currently is featuring a selection of headlines from the year 1921.
