As always, the Manuscripts Division has been diligently processing unique collections to make them available for research. All are welcome to research at the Clements Library, so request an appointment if any of these collections are calling your name!
Welcome to the fifth edition of “A Day in the Life at the Clements Library!” Today we will meet with Jakob Dopp, our recently appointed Assistant Curator of Graphics.
Last month, many of our wonderful student interns studying at the University of Michigan School of Information presented at the UMSI Student Project Exposition, an “annual poster fair that showcases the exceptional projects completed by students through their courses, co-curricular programs, student organizations and independent endeavors.” Each of them presented on the hands-on projects they participated in as part of their education this past year.
While visiting the William L. Clements Library in person is highly recommended, we also maintain a variety of digital resources for doing research with our collections from afar. This blog post is meant to exist as a jumping-off point for doing digital research with our collections, not as an exhaustive guide.
Welcome to “A Day in the Life at The Clements Library!” On the fourth edition of this series, we will meet with Oksana Linda, the Rare Book Cataloger at the Clements Library!
There are some things the written word just will not tell us, which is why we’ve always been so drawn to the material objects that get saved alongside them. The exquisite, oversized quilt that came to the Clements Library as part of an addition to the Weld-Grimké Family Papers from donor descendant Charlotte Mason in 2007 demonstrates this particularly well.
