Overview and metadata sections
Susan Vengrove was hired by Lehigh University in the late 1990s to fundraise for building of the Zoellner Art Center and the renovation of Linderman Library. She was the Zoellner Art Center's Development Officer. In this capacity she apparently inherited a number of files of important personages involved in funding various projects for expansion of Lehigh University. She retired on July 29, 2019.
This collection is a diverse assortment of numerous special events sponsored at Lehigh University composed of events programs related to art, architecture, design and music. There are brochures, flyers, photographs, books, a VHS, and a DVD, and other souvenir items.
Collection arranged topically in two major series: Linderman Library and Zoellner Arts Center. Other series are personal files and Wilbur Power House dedication and the Architectural Digest article about the President's House.
Material was transferred by Susan Vengrove on her retirement from Lehigh University, July 29, 2019.
The video cassettes, special art books, a floppy disk and a DVD are filed elsewhere.
