Preserving The History of F.I.T.

A group of Professors Emeriti are making history by digitizing Florida Tech’s archival publications. So far, the Keuper Scrapbooks, Florida Tech Today, and the Pelican have been scanned and made searchable. Plans are underway to add copies of the Crimson, photographs, and other vintage material. The files reside on the Evans Library server and may be viewed by contacting the Archive Manager, Diane Newman, at newmand@fit.edu.

NOTE:  Digitized Searchable Copies of "The Pelican", FIT's old offical newsletter, are now available for viewing on this web site. 

Just click on "pelican" in the menu bar on the right to select from all available copies of the newsletter from 1975 to 1983.  Other copies are in preparation for publication.  Please send comments and/or suggestions to Tom Stephens at :  tstephens@cfl.rr.com

If you have, or have access to any F.I.T. historical material, please contact Ms. Newman at Evans Library, or any one of the officers listed in this web site.   We would like to preserve as much material as possible.

Paws to Reflect

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. (anon.)
