| Bloomington Public Library Edit | Bloomington Public Library Edit | No Edit | 10 Edit | They didn’t have a lot of space for us, and I dont think their online database was working very well, but they do have a collection of hard copy images, organized by category and stored in folders. Edit |
| Illinois State University Edit | Illinois State University Edit | Edit | 0 Edit | They sent us photos but must not have understood our requirements. The majority were out of our time frame. It looks like they would have quite a few for us when we do the later years. Edit |
| Illinois Wesleyan University Edit | Illinois Wesleyan University Edit | Edit | 15 Edit | They have a good collection of high quality images relating to the university. They didn’t allow us to go into the actual archives, but handed us unorganized folders containing the images. They also have a fairly extensive digital collection. Good space for public scans, but being on the fourth floor, it may be hard to find. Edit |
| McLean County Museum of History Edit | McLean County Museum of History Edit | Edit | 35 Edit | Great space for public scans. Unfortunately, there is some tension between them and the paper, so it wasn’t the smoothest interaction. They had strict limitations on how many photos we could take (not just limitations on photos we could use). The collection is all digital, and it has a lot of early years stuff. The captions are scanned on the backs, but they are mostly too light to read. Edit |
| Normal Public Library Edit | Normal Public Library Edit | Edit | 0 Edit | Good space in the basement for public scans, and we had a decent turnout. Edit |
| The Pantagraph Edit | The Pantagraph Edit | Edit | 139 Edit | They have a very large digital collection of high quality images. It’s all organized by category. The caption info is not embedded, but some have backs scanned with caption material Edit |
