ELISE N. HOFHEIMER ART LIBRARY A SHORT HISTORY The cover of this zine features a portrait of Elise N. Hofheimer, whom the Art Library was named after and formally dedicated in the spring of 1982. Mrs. Hofheimer was a generous donor and long-time supporter of the arts at ODU and the Art Department since the 1960s. Originally founded in 1963, the art library begun as a small room in the Fine Arts Building with a donation from Mrs. Hofheimer who believed that art students needed a lounge-study area within the art department. Over the years, Mrs. Hofheimer along with her daughters, Linda H. Kaufman and Clay Barr have donated and continuously supported the art library in its evolving space for art students and in establishing the Hofheimer endowment fund, which helps fund the growing collection of art materials in the Art Library.
