Andrew J. Theising Research Collection

This collection was donated by Dr. Andrew J. Theising, Associate Professor of Political Science, to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's Louisa H. Bowen University Archives and Special Collections in 2003. The collection was the primary research resource for Made in USA: East St. Louis, which was published both as a book and a public television documentary. The collection contains approximately 1,000 papers, books, artifacts, and images. Additional materials were added to the collection in 2011 in honor of East St. Louis's 150th anniversary. Annotations and reorganization were done by Dr. Theising.
