BEM 495 Video Production III: Research Guide

To find a list of buildings and landmarks visit the Discover EKU website. This site includes landmarks that are not necessarily classroom buildings as well as buildings that have been demolished. Some basic information is included for most buildings, including the art works that can be found in each building. This site also includes information on EKU presidents and the Board of Regents. There will be more content added in the future.

There are many sources for gathering information about EKU buildings. Some of these are online, but some of them must be used in the archives. There are online search tools for gaining access to archival resources.

• Eastern Progress (2001-present online) (1922-2005, 2009-2013 in Encompass) (Card index in archives)
• Special Collections and Archives Finding Aids (You can create an account and add materials to your cart to request them.)
• Board of Regents Minutes (index and minutes are in archives)
