You never know what you’ll discover


You never know what topic will be addressed on the Wabash Valley Visions & Voices blog. Take for instance the latest post. It’s a 1905 photograph of the Allen Chapel AME Choir in Terre Haute, Ind. This photo is part of the private collection of Mark Shepard of Houston, Texas. Mark’s collection of photographs celebrates the heritage and community of African Americans in the Terre Haute area.


This document is a Dec. 14, 1920, letter from Mr. and Mrs. William Hilsdorf to Eugene V. Debs. This letter is part of the Special Collections Department at Indiana State University.


Take a gander at the artwork on this Alice of Old Vincennes tomato can. What a beauty! And thanks to William D. Walker of Vincennes, Ind., for saving this can from a trash heap!

The Sisters of Providence are proud to be a part of Wabash Valley Visions & Voices, a digital memory project. To visit the Congregation’s collection, click here. To sign up for the WV3 blog, click here.
