Special Collections Weekly Outreach Roundup

Even though it’s summer, it’s busy in Special Collections.  We’re happily working with summer researchers, and we’ve had visits from several classes at the Missouri Scholars Academy.  And, of course, we’re still doing outreach on social media.  Here are our top posts for the past two weeks:

·         Manuscript Monday: Ever wonder what books looked like 1,000 years ago?

·         A Pop-Up Culinary Herbal by Shawn Sheehy (2013)

·         Historiated initial of David playing his harp, from a fragment of a 13th-century Psalter.

·         For National Donut Day, proof of the crucial role the donut has played in history.
