We hope you had a mesmerizing #MarbledMonday! We came across this cover of The poems of Catullus, translated by Charles Martin, and it snagged our attention immediately.

Don’t worry, it’s almost the weekend! This #VintagePhoto is from our Circus & Allied Arts Collection. Heavily silvered, much of the surface shows a metallic mirroring effect. Speaking of #circus and our collections, register for the next CHS conference! circushistory.org/next-conventio…

We’re saying goodbye to this great display from the #Circus & Allied Arts Collection. Don’t worry though, we have over 4K costumes/accessories, so you can look forward to a fresh #display soon. And then another, and another, and… We can’t say enough how much we love our jobs!

For #MarbledMonday we have a beautiful volume both inside and out. The book has gold detailing and bright red accents on the spine, gold edges, and some of the brightest marbled endsheets we’ve seen in a long time.

My newest #LibraryExhibit is open! I like them all, but this is one that is especially exciting for me. So many striking portraits could have me spending days viewing it…

Installed this last week and excited for all the possibilities this new #exhibit location offers going forward to increase the visibility of this great circus costume collection. Plus it’s just fun to add another space to my list of semester-long #LibraryExhibit installations!

Annual shout out to my mom, who said she wanted a small filing cabinet for mother's day when working on her dissertation. My dad got her a microwave. For two weeks she left several manila folders in it and wouldn't let anyone use it -- until my dad procured a filing cabinet.

It's difficult to trace most people who worked w/ circuses, yet many remain significant to that history. A @CLIRgrants project that digitized 100 years of name-heavy route books helped to fill some of that gap in #ArchiveInclusion. View online: bit.ly/RouteBooks #Archive30
