A new online collection from @IUBArchives is preserving pieces of movie and Hoosier history. 🎥
Now available digitally, the collection includes screenplay drafts, photos and production materials from Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Tesich, best known for the film Breaking Away, which is inspired by Tesich’s experience riding in IU’s Little 500.
See the collection and learn more about the enduring impact of one of Indiana’s most celebrated writers:

Celebrate America's 250th anniversary with @iulibraries, as we draw on our campus’s academic expertise and cultural treasures. 📜
Throughout the spring semester, IU’s America 250 initiative will include new courses, lectures, performances, exhibitions and community-focused events exploring the Revolutionary War era and the historical, political, philosophical and social forces that shaped the nation’s founding.
A centerpiece of the campus’s programming includes a special exhibition, featuring a copy of the Declaration of Independence produced on the evening of July 4, 1776. Of the 26 known surviving copies, @IULillyLibrary owns one of only three located west of the Allegheny Mountains. It will be on exhibit all year at the Lilly Library, alongside first-edition works from the period, personal letters from the Founding Fathers and rare copies of foundational books that influenced the concepts of the Declaration. 🏛️
đź”—Learn more about all of the events in store for the semester: hey.iu.edu/ulA4n
ALT The image shows the text of the Declaration of Independence, titled "In Congress, July 4, 1776: A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress Assembled." The text begins with a reference to the necessity to dissolve political bands and assert independence. The document states grievances against the British Crown, emphasizing the colonies' desire for freedom.
