Digitization of The Eastern Progress

From covering the great music performed at Speck's to detailing annual Student Government Association elections, The Eastern Progress has chronicled the story of Eastern Kentucky University for more than 80 years.  EKU students, faculty, staff and alumni can easily access current issues of The Eastern Progress online, but cannot easily enjoy historic issues, most of which are preserved in EKU Libraries’ Special Collections & Archives.

Now, you have the opportunity to help capture this history and make it accessible for generations to come.  With your gift of any size ($25, $50, $100 or more*) to this exciting initiative, you will help sponsor the digitization and online publication of Eastern’s celebrated student newspaper.  

To join the generous donors who have already chosen to give life to the historic Eastern Progress, simply make a gift and designate it to Digitize the Eastern Progress.  To enjoy the issues currently digitized, please visit Encompass.

* Gifts of $100 or more will sponsor an entire year and may be given in honor or memory of someone.  All gifts will be recognized by the Friends of EKU Libraries.
