We occasionally get the privilege of assisting others with research.

One such recent project was helping with the University of Illinois Sewn In Memory Project.   Sewn in Memory: AIDS Quilt Panels from Central Illinois is a new exhibit at the Spurlock Museum of World Cultures and features over a dozen quilt panels originally made in the 1980s and early 1990s for the AIDS Memorial Quilt, in Washington, DC. Each of these panels commemorates a person who died of AIDS, or of an AIDS-related ailment.

Illinois Public Media, the Department of Journalism at the University of Illinois and students from the College of Media at Illinois worked together in the fall of 2021 to create video vignettes on the lives and legacies of these individuals.
