Urban Displacement and the Making of a University is a collection that documents how IUPUI acquired the land on which it was built and is based on the holdings of the Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives at IUPUI. Items include correspondence related to property purchases, campus planning documents, assessments of home and business values, abstracts of title, oral histories, and a few items collected by administrators that show community discontent.
