Of particular interest are photographs documenting exhibits in the Society's Historymobile, the Society's involvement with the restoration of the State Capitol building, observances for the tercentenary of the Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet expedition, and audio recordings of author Stephen Ambrose's Founders Day address, "Eisenhower and the D-Day Decision," in 1981.
