UC-ARB Library

From all of us at ARB, have a haunting day... @UCLibraries #halloween #spookybooks

Oh my! We almost missed National Cat Day. If we had, you would have needed to wait a whole year to see these pics of cats wearing top hats! The cats don't look too happy, but we think they are cute. From the James B. and John J. McNamara papers. @UCLibraries #catswithhats

UC Libraries new strategic plan unveiled, an article on a new acquisition at ARB, new colleagues, and much more! (did we use the word "new" enough??)

Do you have eclipse fever? We do, so we're sharing some materials on the total solar eclipse of Aug. 1869 housed in the records of the Cincinnati Observatory. You don't need special glasses to view them...just a research appointment! @uc_libraries #eclipse2024 #eclipsefever

@drhollymcgee @UC_ArtSci @uofcincy @ucAACRC @BFA_UC @UCAfricana @UCHistoryDept @UCSociology @UC_WGSS Congratulations!

Hey, @uofcincy…guess what?! 🥳 @UC_ArtSci @ucAACRC @BFA_UC @UCAfricana @UCHistoryDept @UCSociology @UC_WGSS

The most asked question from our tabling at Langsam Library has been why were freshwomen not allowed to hold seances in the basement window-seats??? Rule 15 from the 1914 freshwomen rules as published in the University Record newspaper. @UCLibraries

Stop by our table in the lobby of Langsam Library today to view some cool items from the Archives and Rare Books Library! Free library swag too!

Back from the Preservation Lab...E. Lucy Braun's graduate school thesis from 1912. A botanist and conservationist, Braun and her sister, Annette (an entomologist), both received PhDs from @uofcincy and became pioneers in their fields. @UCLibraries #WomensHistoryMonth

Learn more about the legacy of Marian Spencer's civil rights and education activism in Cincinnati by visiting the Archives and Rare Books Library at the University of Cincinnati! @UCLibraries #BlackHistoryMonth

Surveying a new acquisition of Little Blue Books published by the Haldeman-Julius Publishing Company and we are really getting a chuckle out of the comments left by a former owner/reader. #snarkinthearchives @UCLibraries

@uofcincy @CityOfCincy His papers documenting his life and career are preserved at UC's Archives and Rare Books Library! @ARBLibrary @UCLibraries

A hurricane of principle. Theodore “Ted” Berry’s advocacy laid the groundwork for future generations, inspiring a legacy of resilience and social progress. The first African American mayor of @CityOfCincy, “he led our city to a better place.” #BlackHistoryMonth

Spending some time with colleagues and our wonderful participants in Douglass Day 2024. @UCLibraries @UC_ArtSci UC McNair Scholars Program #DouglassDay

ARB is happy to help sponsor this year's Douglass Day transcribe-a-thon and support this wonderful annual event. Free and open to the public! #BlackHistoryMonth #DouglassDay @UCLibraries

Our colleagues at the @UC_CECH Library have a wonderful collection of educational materials and @UC_CEAS Library has a new board game collection, but we may have to issue a "we got game(s) too" challenge.

You never know what you'll find when opening a box in the archives. Games & puzzles from the papers of UC education professor Nancy Nunnally! @UCLibraries

In September 1959, baseball legend, Spingarn Medal winner, and former chairman of the NAACP's Fighting Fund for Freedom Jackie Robinson was the featured speaker at Cincinnati NAACP's Freedom Fund Dinner. @UCLibraries #BlackHistoryMonth
