As the Iowa Digital Library approaches the 100,000-item mark, we’re celebrating this milestonetemp by highlighting some of our favorite items from the collections.

Title: The president and the portrait: a featured presentation of the Twenty-Sixth Annual Fine Arts Festival, Iowa Memorial Union, State University of Iowa, June 10-Aug. 5., 1964
Creator: unknown
Collection: Art Festival Programs

I like “The President and the Portrait” which is part of the Festival of Arts brochures. This gives a biographical and portrait history of the Presidents of the UI from 1862-1964.  You can actually see photos or paintings of a lot of the guys who have UI buildings named after them!
