This digital collection consists of writings, reports, speeches, correspondence, awards, and printed materials from the Elena M. Sliepcevich papers in the Special Collections Research Center, Morris Library, Southern Illinois University Carbondale. They document Dr. Sliepcevich’s career as a leading health educator and the development of health education as an academic discipline. The records were selected for digitization by Dr. Alan J. Sofalvi in 2025.
Most of the records identify an author(s) and date. Records without an attributed author use "unidentified" in the author field, but in some cases it is likely Dr. Sliepcevich. Records without a date were uploaded to a year of likely circa date based on clues from the text and other records in the same archival folder. The titles of uploads without an official title, such as scans of correspondence, were given descriptive titles based on content or purpose.
