Custodial History
Jan Hood's mother, Helen Hawkins Heilman (1908-1969?) was a student at the University of Omaha for two years, circa 1926-1927. In 2016, when going through the family archives, Jan Hood found the two OU yearbooks and offered to return them to the university. She made this gift in honor of Helen Hawkins Heilman.
