                  <text>This collection consists of images of art, memorial plaques, and artifacts across the Eastern Kentucky University campus. The inventory was created in 2006 when the University celebrated its centennial, and all items were researched and given a number. If possible they were also given a tag with this number. Because of the amount of time since the original inventory, it is quite possible that at least some pieces are no longer in the same location. It is also possible that later acquisitions of art are not in this inventory. The position that documented these items was a  temporary position, and there are no procedures for adding content to the inventory. </text>
