October is Archives Month and the Archives & Special Collections are celebrating!
We continue our Behind the Archives Door series with talks on October 1st and 15th by Amy Fisher, Professor of Science, Technology and Society who will discuss our 18th century rare books on electricity and Beau Beausoleil, curator and poet of The Al-Mutanabbi Book Arts Exhibit. All talks begin at 4:00 p.m. outside of the Archives & Special Collections on the second floor of the Collins Library.
On October 25th from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. the Archives & Special Collections will hold an Open House, feel free to stop by and browse the collections! At the end of the Open House we will formally “seal” our 125th Anniversary time capsule!
Finally, we have a small exhibit featuring material from the Doug Edwards papers on display near the circulation desk (check back Thursday for more details)! This exhibit was curated by student archivists Maya Steinborn ’14 and Morgan Ford ’17.
