Special Collections & Archives is pleased to announce two new exhibits are available for your enjoyment!
H. Spencer Clark in the Soviet Union is an online exhibit curated by our past co-op student, Eva Lau. In the summer of 1931, Herbert Spencer Clark visited Europe as part of a study group led by Dr. Sherwood Eddy. Between July 25th and August 9th, Spencer visited various locations of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (i.e. USSR, or Soviet Union) to examine first hand the economic and social conditions of the nation, as well as the effects of the revolution. Eva hand picked items from Spencer’s travel diary, scrapbook, and correspondence in order to tell this story.
Highlights from the new archives we received in 2015 are also on display in the cabinets at the entrance to the Doris Lewis Rare Book Room.
