Donald and Marietta Southwood were both long-time supporters of our Special Collections Center. They worked countless volunteer hours indexing and organizing resources and assisting patrons with their research.
Mrs. Southwood passed away April 1, 2005, and Mr. Southwood followed on June 19, 2012. Noted genealogists, they had amassed a personal research library of books, periodicals, and other items—many of them focusing on Indiana—which the family has generously donated to our Center.
We are still sorting and processing the Southwood legacy, but a small portion has already been added to our shelves:
