After over 12 years of sharing archive and rare book content on this blog, we are officially retiring it. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon, however — we’re leaving the content here for the time being so you can continue to explore it.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Jessica Lacher-Feldman<\/strong> for starting (and naming!) the blog, all the way back in October 2007. No one could match her enthusiasm for sharing cool stuff from the stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks also to Amy Chen<\/strong>, who took charge in 2012. And I mean really took charge: the meticulous and helpful categorization system you see here was put in place by Amy and her graduate assistant, Ashley Bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was handed the reins in 2015. Before that, I ran the digitization unit’s blog — you’ll find those posts archived here as well. Thanks to Amanda Presnell <\/strong>for running that blog from its inception in April 2011 to August 2012, when I took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And special thanks to the Special Collections faculty and staff<\/strong> who contributed their favorite items and fond memories over the years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
