In 1922, the IU Baseball team traveled to Japan for a series of games with Waseda and Keio Universities. Join us for a tour of donated materials that document this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Dina Kellams, Director of University Archives, will take us on this journey to Japan and Doug Sanders, Paper Conservator in the Preservation Lab, will show us the science and art behind maintaining these archival resources for generations to come.
