Quick info about Primary Source!

Episode One: "The Libraries That Built a University"

A brief history of the three university libraries that helped build Midwestern State University into what it is today.

Episode Two: "I let my brother go to the devil in his own way."

Step into the fog of Victorian London as Primary Source uncovers the dark genius behind Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Learn how Stevenson's own nightmare - and two real-life criminals and a progressive newspaper editor - helped inspire his tale of duality and hidden sin, mirroring the real-life terror of Jack the Ripper, where fiction and reality blur in the gaslight. 

Episode 3: The U.S.O.: "...giving them a touch of home life away from home."

Jitterbug back into the 1940s as we explore how the USO boosted morale among stateside and deployed service personnel, and zoom in on its incredible presence right here in Wichita Falls.
