Contributor Bio(s): Couture, Jacqueline: - Authors Jacqueline Couture, Deborah Whalen, and Chuck Hill are currently employed by the Eastern Kentucky University Archives. In the course of reorganizing a large photograph collection, they discovered a wealth of unpublished images that they felt would be of interest in Eastern's centennial year. They previously authored a volume covering the first 50 years of Eastern's history that was also included in Arcadia Publishing's Campus History Series. |
