For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Mildred Wirt Benson Collection Description An account of the resource Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson was an American journalist and author of children's books, in particular the earliest Nancy Drew mysteries. Writing under Stratemeyer Syndicate pen name Carolyn Keene from 1929 to 1947, she contributed to 23 of the first 30 originally published Nancy Drew mysteries. Benson was born Mildred Augustine in Ladora, Iowa to Lillian and Dr. J. L. Augustine. She married Asa Wirt, who worked for Associated Press, and, after Wirt's death in 1947, married George A. Benson, editor of the Toledo Blade newspaper of Toledo, Ohio three years later. He died in 1959. She earned her degree in English from the University of Iowa in 1925, returned and earned her master's degree in journalism in 1927, the first student to do so there. She worked for 58 years as a journalist, writing a weekly column for the Toledo Blade and continuing to work full-time (mostly writing obituaries) until a few months before her death, from lung cancer, in 2002 at the age of 96. Benson also wrote many other series, including the Penny Parker books, which were published under her own name and which she told interviewers were her favorites. This collection includes the title pages, advertisements, and tables of contents of some of the novels she wrote. There are also pictures, letters and other personal memorabilia.

Frederick Wallace Kent followed as lecturer and instructor in photography at the University beginning in 1923, and later founded the University Photo Service in 1947. Kent captured not only university life such as sports and graduation in detail, but also photographed commercial and residential buildings off-campus in Iowa City, both from the ground and above.

This pack of playing cards is printed using the traditional method of printing playing cards. This process was employed for hundreds of years in both Europe and America until the development of more efficient printing methods. Stencils of each suit were cut in heavy cardstock. This cardstock was then covered with layers of oil paint to give it some strength, and then the number (or pip) cards were all stencilled using an opaque, non-sticky ink. The face cards were made using woodblock prints for the outlines, and different stencils to fill in the colored portions. In this deck, I have used the above traditional methods but for my stencil cardstock, used the catalog cards, and then printed the deck on more catalog cards. I liked the idea of juxtaposing these two "outdated technologies" into one cohesive (and potentially usable!) project.

Title A name given to the resource African American Women in Iowa Collection Description An account of the resource Historian Darlene Clark Hine said: "There is an urgent need to discover and collect more primary source materials pertaining to the lives and experiences of ordinary middle western Black women in both rural and urban communities." Although Hine and her colleagues centered their efforts on African-American women in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan -- states which traditionally have had more sizable black populations than Iowa -- the history of African-American women in this state is no less important. Indeed, Iowa's African women share a collective history that is both precious and powerful but all too seldom explored. --Kathryn M.
