"In 1918, an unprepared nation and Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College faced an invisible foe they never anticipated. The initial impact of the Spanish flu pandemic at the beginning of the year had been insignificant in Oklahoma. The second wave struck the campus that fall. This virulent H1N1 flu killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide and about 675,000 in the United States between January 1918 and December 1920." - David Peters, STATE Magazine In this episode, David Peters, Head of the OSU Archives, and Olivia Turner, Digital Storytelling Intern, talk about the Spanish Flu of 1918 and the impact it had on OAMC.

Transcribing Angie Debo's 30 years of letters and journal entries: A project inspired by the challenges of a pandemic. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, the Oklahoma State University Libraries had a mission to help employees continue working while shifting from in person to work from home. The challenge was that not all jobs could be done remotely so the Libraries needed a bright idea. And what better place to look for a creative solution than the Angie Debo Collection in the OSU Archives. View the Angie Debo collection at http://debo.library.okstate.edu/
Since the 1940s, circus music has been predominantly defined by one song until Matt Margucci entered the scene. Rather than stick solely to creating traditional circus music, Matt created circus music that represented multiple emotions like happiness and fear. Consisting of 260 pieces of music compiled into 20 volumes, the archives received his work in May of 2020 as a loan and will use the collection to educate listeners about the circus and inspire listeners to create something creative and unique. Special thanks to Mary Larson, Associate Dean for the OSU Libraries, and Matt Margucci, creator of the circus music heard in the episode, for sharing your stories.
