GORE CENTER FOCUS OF “MTSU ON THE RECORD” THIS SUNDAY
Dr. Jim Williams, Director, Explains Historical Bounty Preserved on Campus
(MURFREESBORO) – The Albert Gore Research Center at MTSU is a treasure trove of historical information and research material, and it will play a major role in the celebration of MTSU’s 100th birthday in 2011. The center’s director, Dr. Jim Williams, will talk about the center’s many aspects, from political paraphernalia to pedagogical pertinence, on “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue at 7 a.m. this Sunday, July 12, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org).
The Gore Center houses not only the official papers of the late U.S. Sen. Albert Gore. It also houses the Tennessee Folklore Society Collection, the Margaret Lindsley Warden Library for Equine Studies, and oral histories provided by military veterans and survivors of Hurricane Katrina, among others.
