Since July 2015, when RBSC head Natasha Lyandres welcomed readers to the Rare Books and Special Collections blog<\/a>, we have enjoyed using this forum to tell readers about new and recently acquired items, as well as using it to describe well known materials and hidden gems. We published posts to help you, our audience, better know who we are and what we do, and we have provided regular updates on exhibits and other events hosted by RBSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark the five-year anniversary of our blog, we have selected a few of the 246 posts we have published so far, written by a variety of curators, librarians and guest writers. Scroll down to find some interesting snippets from our first five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who’s Who and What’s What<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The tags “who’s who<\/a>” and “what’s what<\/a>” gather posts relating, respectively, to the people who work in and with Notre Dame’s Special Collections, and both the materials to be found and the work happening within the department. Included in the latter category are posts related to the Category “Instruction and Class Visits<\/a>“, some of which are shown here.<\/p>\n\n\n
