About
The website “Indiana’s Visionary Statesman: The Richard G. Lugar Senatorial Papers” explores the life and career of Senator Richard G. Lugar. It was designed as a companion piece to a physical exhibition titled “Indiana’s Visionary Statesman: The Richard G. Lugar Senate Papers.” The physical exhibition was curated by Sara Stefani, Project Archivist for the Richard G. Lugar Senatorial Papers, and was hosted at the Lilly Library on the campus of Indiana University, Bloomington.
The digital exhibition features many of the same items that were on display at the Lilly. However, not all items on display at the Lilly are featured on this website due to copyright restrictions and/or privacy concerns. Additionally, some items are featured on this website that were not or could not be displayed in the physical exhibition due to either space restrictions or format requirements. Certain items, notably pamphlets and multi-page documents, can be viewed in their entirety online.
All items featured in this digital exhibition were taken from the Richard G. Lugar Senatorial Papers, which is part of the Modern Political Papers Collection at Indiana University. Modern Political Papers is part of the Indiana University Libraries and is under the Indiana University Archives.
For more information about Senator Richard G. Lugar, the Lilly Library exhibition, and Modern Political Papers, please see the other pages in this “About” section.
