This collection is comprised of 20 maps produced as part of Alfred C. Kinsey’s gall wasp research, which culminated in the volume entitled The gall wasp genus Cynips: a study in the origin of species (https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/932965). Kinsey’s gall wasp research predates the work on human sexuality for which he is more widely known. The maps were created during a span of twenty years, between approximately 1917 and 1937. Eighteen of the collection items are United States Geological Survey base maps onto which hand-annotated species data was added. Of particular interest to researchers may be the two remaining hand-drawn maps (Untitled I; First Expedition, 1931-32, Indiana University Second Mexican and Biological Expedition, 1935-36) which document Kinsey’s research travel routes. The original, physical copies of this set of 20 maps are housed at the Herman B Wells Library, Indiana University, Bloomington.

This collection contains digitized issues of student newspapers from the Indiana University Kokomo Archives, including issues of The Mirror (1932-1934) from Kokomo Junior College which preceded the opening of the Kokomo extension center of Indiana University in 1945.
Print issues were donated and collected by various means, creating a collection that is representative but incomplete. Coverage from student newspapers published from 1945-1969 is sparse, with more consistent publication and coverage beginning in the 1970s. Students published the newspaper under many titles between 1948 and 2019, including Center Chatter (1948), Kokomo Center Review (1950-1951), Center Scope (1959-1960), Extender (1960-1965), Regionnaire (1966), Road Runner (1966-1970), Illegitimate (1969), Student Voice (1970-1977), Register (1978), Phoenix (1981-1991), and variations on The Correspondent (1991-present).
Dates have been transcribed as published on the original issues, apart from issues with handwritten date corrections or obvious misprints. Issues published with only a month and year have been dated as published on the first of that month.
Thank you to Samuel Garcia-Lopez and Britney Netherton, graduates of IU Kokomo, for their work facilitating the digitization of this collection, as well as the Indiana University Bicentennial Archives Development and Deployment Project (ADDP) and Digital Collections Services (DCS).
