About

Help make the archives of the 100+ year old student newspaper, The Decaturian, available online. The digital collection currently includes 1903-1951 of the Dec, a valuable, full-text searchable resource covering the history of the University that is freely available to alumni, genealogists, and researchers. This collection is searched on average 5,500 times every year! $5000 will help the University Archives extend the online collection from the early 1950s through the 1960s and 1970s, providing access to Millikin’s history during the post-WW2 student boom on campus and into the civil rights era.
