Influenza Sign - Garee McLain Scrapbook

Documenting the 1918 Influenza Pandemic and COVID-19

Quarantine is nothing new to 亚色影库. More than a century ago, Indiana County suffered from the influenza pandemic, which claimed the lives of millions of people worldwide. Indiana State Normal School (now 亚色影库) was under quarantine in 1918. This Indiana Board of Health certificate was posted on the residence hall door of student Bertha Garee McLain who graduated in 1919. The 亚色影库 Special Collections and University Archives welcomes donations of documents, interviews, memorabilia, photographs, and publications.
