ALTOONA, Pa. — The next installment of Penn State Altoona's historical video project provides a brief history of the Edith Davis Eve Memorial Chapel, the first interdenominational chapel on a commonwealth campus. Built from 1969 to 1970, this chapel has become a hallmark of the Penn State Altoona campus.

This video is a brief history of the Edith Davis Eve Memorial Chapel, the first interdenominational chapel on a commonwealth campus. Built from 1969 to 1970, this chapel has become a hallmark of the Penn State Altoona campus. 

Each video of the Penn State Altoona historical video project features a voiceover narrative accompanied by scanned photos and newspaper clippings. The video series is a way for the archive to be viewed and enjoyed during the pandemic and reach more people interested in the college's history or seeking a snapshot of what campus life was like from its founding to the present.

The series is produced by Daniel Thacker, reference and instruction librarian, and Gale Biddle, information resources and services support specialist. More information is available on the Robert E. Eiche Library website.
