Horror & Occult Classics

Thursday, October 26, 2017 by Ryan Cummins

With Halloween coming up soon, I found it fitting for my first blog post as the new Special Collections & Archives Co-op student to follow a theme of the supernatural. When I first started working here in the Rare Book Room, I quickly realized that there would be all sorts of random topics covered in the vast collection we have down here on the first floor of the Dana Porter Library. Luckily, there are plenty of books and magazines that fit perfectly within the themes of Halloween.

History 250 class visit to Special Collections & Archives

Tuesday, February 2, 2016 by Nick Richbell

Special Collections & Archives is committed to student success and we support faculties and departments in class or in library instruction using our collections. One example of this recently took place when we welcomed Professor Ian Milligan’s class (HIST 250) from the department of history to Special Collections & Archives. The class was divided into 2 groups; one group visited us while the second attended a session led by the library’s history librarian Jane Forgay, about research strategies, tools, and library services.
