Eastern celebrated it's centennial anniversary in 2006. The provost provided funds to hire Joyce Miller, who compiled an inventory of the art, sculpture and other historical artifacts that were on campus at the time.
For 2 years that information has been sitting in an Access database not being used by anyone. Now it has been added to the University Archives Photo and Image Database. So anyone can find photos and information on the art and sculpture on campus.
The inventory may not be complete, because Joyce may not have been able to get into every office with university owned art work. For example, I know that she was unable to get into the Blanton House, so nothing in there was inventoried.
If you know of any art that was missed in the Historical Resources Inventory, leave a comment here and we'll photograph and add it. One other shortcoming is that very few of the art works in the University Archives were inventoried.
