Library News & Events

Do you remember shopping for school supplies in elementary school, and the long list of items you needed for your classes? A ruler is a common item on school supply lists, and UF has their very own! Check out the photos below of an official University of Findlay ruler. It is a foot long and only measures in inches. The phone number featured on the item is still the official phone number for the Office of Admissions, so this means the ruler was likely made in the past 20 years. We don't know the origins of this item, but we can guess that it was either sold at the campus bookstore, or was given to prospective students during recruiting events. Would you include this bright orange ruler in your school supplies?

International Night 2024 is approaching, and the University Archives has a fair share of photographs from the popular event! International Night is an annual event held on UF's campus, and it is a celebration of cultures with food, dancing, and cultural performances. It is typically held during the spring semester in March or April. There is no date associated with these photographs of International Night, but we can guess that they were taken at International Night in the 1990s or early 2000s. This event has been held in several venues across campus over the years, and this one was specifically held in the Koehler Center (on the large track). It provided a large enough space for tables and booths, activities for attendees, and cultural performances. Shafer Library is excited that International Night will be held again this semester!

If you know any information about these photographs or the dates they were taken, please let us know at library@findlay.edu.
