A Generous Gift from Distinguished Alumni

From Beck Chapel to Moscow, from the height of the Cold War to the fall of the Iron Curtain, James and Naomi Collins have shared a lifetime dedicated to international relations and public education, one which began with their time as graduate students at IU Bloomington. With the gift of their respective professional papers and other materials to IU Libraries, the couple’s journey has come full circle and left an inspirational legacy for aspiring Hoosier scholars of the future.

The papers and other materials from the Collins collection will offer Hoosier scholars of today and tomorrow profound insights into the changing world of the late 20th Century, the transformative power of international experiences, and the ever-evolving importance of education in a globalized world.
