Thirteen Indiana University Purdue University-Indianapolis (IUPUI) students will participate in a semester-long graduate-level class at the Madame Walker Theatre Center this spring. This course, offered through the IUPUI Museum Studies Program (http://liberalarts.iupui.edu/mstd/) is designed to document, preserve, and research the historic and artistic materials contained within this National Historic Landmark (http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/indianapolis/walkerbuilding.html). . Led by IUPUI adjunct instructor, Richard McCoy(http://www.imamuseum.org/art/conservation), who is an art conservator at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and assisted by graduate student Deanna Cundiff, students in the class will be creating a database that holds information about items of historic significance at the Walker and providing long-term preservation recommendations.
