Documenting Louisville Municipal College: Linda Wilson LMC Collection

This 6.25 linear foot collection consists of materials collected by Linda Wilson, Associate Director, Community Relations, University of Louisville, on Louisville Municipal College, its alumni and reunions, and some other pertinent topics. It was donated to the University Archives and Records Center in 2000 to complement the existing LMC records held here. There are school newspapers, textbooks, class photographs, scrapbooks, theater and music programs, commencement items, reunion materials and oral histories. Of particular note is the amount of material related to student life, such as athletics, theater and music, and Greek life.
