Abstract
MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
The Center for Great Plains Studies recently completed moving into its new building located between the south edge of the University of Nebraska campus and downtown Lincoln. For the first time in many years, all of the faculty, staff, and programs of the Center are in the same physical structure. The galleries of our Great Plains Art Collection are expanded in size and in a much more accessible location. Center office and work space are more than tripled providing many opportunities for new programs. Plains Song Review, an interdisciplinary undergraduate literary journal, will be published by the Center starting in 2001. Established services and programs including Great Plains Quarterly, Great Plains Research, and the Encyclopedia of the Great Plains will have the opportunity to grow and improve.
The Center for Great Plains Studies is the oldest and largest interdisciplinary, regional research and teaching center in the United States. The combined commitment of more that $5 million by the University of Nebraska and the University of Nebraska Foundation demonstrates the significance of the Center's mission to the University of Nebraska and the region. We will continue to foster the study of the relationships between the environment and the cultures brought to the Great Plains by its various inhabitants, as well as evaluating the implications of these relationships for the future. I want to extend an open invitation to all readers of Great Plains Quarterly to visit the Center at its new location at 1155 Q Street, Hewit Place.
