Martha and Luis have been researching at Sutro Library for months, and we're so glad to have been able to work with them! Their work involves some of the oldest books printed in the Americas, many of which had firebrands on their pages to identify them. buff.ly/3WcWB4y
Happy #FairyFriday everybody! We couldn't resist sharing this charming book called "British Goblins," published in 1880! #supernatural #libraries #specialcollections #archives
#OnThisDay in 1906, in the early morning hours, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck #SanFrancisco. Here is a letter written describing the experience, as well as images of the deadly scene. #earthquake #libraries #history
There is a section of our @SutroLibrary branch called "tiny town," where all of their smallest books are shelved. Some of these teeny volumes are hundreds of years old! #books #librarians
Happy #NationalLibraryWeek, everyone! We love this map of Massachusetts libraries circa 1904 by George Hartnell Bartlett. @mastatelibrary #PublicLibraries
We work at a library, of course we tell everyone we know to get a library card! Happy library week, everyone! #librarians #LibraryWeek
Enjoy these satisfying page turning sounds, straight from 1677! 📚
There's a lot of excitement building around the April 8 #SolarEclipse, which got us digging around in our vault. This 1645 book has truly fantastic images, including lucid images of the lunar seas — plains of solidified lava which appear dark on the Moon's surface! #libraries
Explore #Polynesian family history at a free #genealogy talk, 4/12 at 1pm! Join speaker Miya Jensen as she discusses the culture of genealogy in #Oceania, the variety of records available, and the wealth of knowledge via Oral Genealogies of the Pacific. bit.ly/genealogy-0424
After the #MexicanRevolution, political and business leaders needed to entice foreign investment to help rebuild a broken economy. This 1930 pamphlet illustrates this push and was distributed by the Departamento De Turismo. #history #tourism #archives #ephemera
This month @USNatArchives #hashtagparty is #ArchivesWomenInSTEM — so we thought we'd highlight the brilliant sister of astronomer Tycho Brahe, Sophia Brahe. She was a horticulturist fluent in astronomy, medicine and chemistry and she often worked with her scientist brother.
Today we unboxed a new accession, a game called "What Shall I Be?" from 1976, created by the same designers as Scrabble. The previous version of the game, from 1966, had only six professions for women: model, actress, nurse, teacher, flight attendant, and ballet dancer.
According to the website Bay Nature in 2023, the California golden chanterelle, native to California and Baja, became the first state mushroom! Here is a lovely mushroom from circa 1797, engraved by Botanical artist James Sowerby 1757-1822. #mushrooms #California #libaries
Yesterday we welcomed @SFSU Professor Haeyoung Kim and her #ImperialChina history students to look at some of our materials related to Asian and Chinese history. They really loved our map of #SanFrancisco Chinatown from 1885! #libraries #archives #specialcollections
Today we have an #AmericanRevolution class coming in to see our amazing primary resources! This letter bemoans the fall of the #BritishEmpire after the "late fatal Contest with her Colonies now become sovereign and independent" @SFSU #archives #libraries #specialcollections
During #WWII the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (consisting of solely Black women), delivered mail in the #EuropeanTheater — a way to keep up morale. These images are from a scrapbook of #WAAC ephemera. #BlackHistoryMonth
Had a great time with @SFSU Professor Kurt Daw and his graduate research class, they got to see our #Shakespeare First Folio (the first printing of his plays in one volume, 1623) as well as some of our other #rarebooks including our Second Folio, Third Folio and Fourth Folio
Before there was online dating😆 Happy #ValentinesDay everybody! #VictorianHumor #romance
