Another day in UF Libraries Special Collections. Any guesses on today’s classes?

Ah curation, the job that combines my love of falling down the rabbit holes with my deep dread of having way too many projects in the air at once.

Slight adjustment to ⁦⁦UF Libraries’s⁩ fall fest t-shirt for today’s Pride Ride in Depot Park.

Would never apply to me, but “Wizard of Flowers” would be a pretty cool title to have.

Also, because I have bikes on the brain for some reason, check out these ads in the Chap Book, at the height of the first bike boom. No idea what they would think of the 4” tires on a fat bike.

Rewatching the excellent #SHARP2023 panel “Do Books Have Genders?” Love Sarah Werner’s formulation of feminist bibliography being “less concerned about what we’re learning about books and more concerned about whether we’re letting people find themselves in the archives”

Barbie or Oppenheimer? #Barbenheimer

Ready for rare book sleep-away camp! Packed Bowers and Gaskell on the one hand, pillow and sheets (courtesy of our 4yo) on the other 🦕

Mimeographs, flongs, zines, and comics! A lot of awesome ephemera out today for the first of many visits on archives. Thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Haven Hawley for putting more of this technology into the collections!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Fall Speaker Series talk this afternoon! We had to reach into the balcony seating. Please join us tomorrow starting at 3:30 in Smathers for coffee and a workshop with Prof. Clark

“No better place to be on a Friday Night than looking at old books.” -Actual UF Student After hours at the library is when we get out the good stuff. Thanks to Prof Clark and all for a great workshop on chronicles and other blank spaces.

Research with us this Spring (and get paid)! Applications are due this Friday for our Discovery Fellowships. These short fellowships are meant to introduce new students to research in an area of their choice, mentored by a curator. Apply at ufl.libwizard.com/f/Undergraduat…

So excited to see my first gallery exhibition come to life! The stories of, and in, these early tactile books for the blind are incredible, and our exhibits team did an amazing job bringing them together.
