Tomorrow is First Thursdays! Two pieces of advice if you stop by: One, hydrate - it's going to be warm! Two, stop by the Indiana University Archives table and write a postcard home! They'll even supply the postage and mail it for you.

We'll have some fun swag AND you can sit down and write out a postcard with an Archives image for friends and family. Leave it with us and we will mail it for you!
