Pictorial history of DePauw University now available online
GREENCASTLE, Ind. -- Thanks to the efforts of DePauw University junior Stephanie Yee Loong, the revered book, DePauw: A Pictorial History is now available online.
Written by emeritus professors of history Clifton Phillips and John Baughman, with assistance from history professors Harold Spicer and John Schlotterbeck and Wesley Wilson, coordinator of DePauw University's Archives, DePauw: A Pictorial History was first published in 1987 and is prominently displayed in the bookshelves and on coffee tables of many alumni. Now, the text and photos are available to anyone at any time, with the click of a mouse.
"When Stephanie unveiled her online version of the book to me last week, I was amazed. She took an idea I had and created an impressive and very useable product," says Wilson.
A member of the Information Technology Associates Program (ITAP), Loong had never attempted a project like this before. "But Stephanie is persistent and creative," Wilson said. For the project, which took more than a year to complete, the junior learned how to use Dreamweaver software, tracked down the original photographs used in the book, scanned them and built the pages one by one.
"The excellent work that Stephanie has done in putting the Pictorial History online has almost made it an entirely new work," says Dennis Trinkle, director of 361ø Initiatives, coordinator of information services and technology.
"Many institutions have put their histories online. DePauw: A Pictorial History is one of the finest. The detailed narrative, engaging pictures, and wonderful stories make it impossible to resist. The first time that I looked at it, I could not pull myself away for two hours," states Trinkle, a 1991 graduate of DePauw.
The online version of DePauw: A Pictorial History is accessible online at www.depauw.edu/library/archives/ehistory/index.htm. The print edition remains available through the DePauw Bookstore.
DePauw is a United Methodist-related institute of higher education.
