SU Libraries Featuring Digital Exhibition on Syracuse University and the GI Bill

Syracuse University Libraries’ new digital exhibition, “Our Doors Opened Wide: Syracuse University and the GI Bill, 1945-1950,” is available beginning November 1, 2023. Curated by University Archivist Meg Mason, the original physical exhibition was on view at the Special Collections Research Center galleries in 2016. The exhibition explores the dramatic impact of the GI Bill and the subsequent influx of veterans on the University campus following World War II. This online exhibition was a collaborative effort between the Libraries’ Department of Digital Stewardship and the Special Collections Research Center.
