KOCO IS HERE TONIGHT IN STUDIO WITH IS NOW THE OSU WILL ARCHIVE IMPORTANT SPANNING HIS ENTIRE TIME AS A STATE OFFICIAL. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. I MEAN WE ARE TALKING DECADES OKLAHOMA AND US HISTORY OSU WILL RECEIVE ITEMS FROM. 1967 TO 2023. JUST THINK ABOUT ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED IN OUR DEMOCRACY, IN OUR GOVERNMENT. THIS WILL BE FROM INHOFE’S TENURE AND THE OKLAHOMA STATE HOUSE. THE STATE SENATE MAYOR OF TULSA, THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND OF COURSE, THE US SENATE. WE SPOKE TO OKLAHOMA STATE OFFICIALS ABOUT WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THESE ITEMS AS LEARNING TOOLS AND WHAT TYPES OF MATERIAL THEY’RE ACTUALLY EXPECTING TO RECEIVE FROM INHOFE. WE SHOULD BE EXPECTING A WIDE OF THINGS. WE KNOW WE HAVE CONSTITUENT RECORDS, OTHER MEMORABILIA, OFFICE FILES. WE WILL HAVE SENATOR INHOFE OFFICIAL SCHEDULE, LEGISLATIVE, AN AUDIO FILE, PRESS CLUB. WHAT WILL DO WHEN IT COMES IN IS DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE VARIOUS MATERIALS AND START TO ORGANIZE. YEAH, FOR NOW, THE MEMORABILIA WILL BE STORED IN OSU’S PROCESSING AREA AND ONCE THEY’VE COMPLETED THAT, MATERIALS WILL BE AVAILABLE.
