\"\"<\/a>The Summer spotlight exhibit, on display now through September, is “Which in future time shall stir the waves of memory”<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Friendship Albums of Antebellum America<\/strong>.\u00a0On display are seven manuscripts from Special Collections’ manuscripts of North America holdings.<\/p>\n

Among the characteristic manuscript forms of antebellum America are albums filled with poetry, prose, drawings, and other content created for the book’s owner by family and acquaintances. Such friendship albums, as they are called, have a long history, but they were especially prevalent in the Romantic era, with its new ideology of sentimental friendship. In the United States friendship albums begin to appear in number in the 1820s, and while contributors were often male, the albums themselves were usually maintained by young women.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is curated by George Rugg (Curator, Special Collections)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
