From SPSU Wiki
My name is Elizabeth Ferguson Keathley, and I was the first full-time Archivist employed by Southern Polytechnic State University. I started working here on September 1st, 2005.
I have since left SPSU to work in the corporate archives of United Parcel Service in Atlanta, GA. Any inquiries to collections in process or archives at the university should be directed to Brenton Stewart, the library's cataloger.

Wiki
It's part of my goal as Archivist to make the historical materials stored here at SPSU more accessible. As the collections become more organized and I begin to preserve the artifacts we've collected over the years, I'll be creating digital gateways to the information both on and off the wiki.
If there is some information you'd like to add to the wiki, but you need images or sources to back up your entry, I'm the person to call. Most of the information stored in the archive is difficult to access at present, but if you give a call to the archive I can probably find what you need. The phone number is 678-915-7444, and you can generally find me in the library between 8:00 and 5:00 MTRF, and 1-10 on Wednesdays. I love working on group projects, so please don't hesitate to ask for information or resources.
