Description
Summary:Several bear evidence of the cultural history of specific groups, including African Americans (Emory University), Chicanos (University of California, Berkeley), German andjewish intellectual émigrés (University at Albany, State University of New York) , Italians (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and women (Duke University). The Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature at the University of Florida Libraries began as a modest birthday gift from her parents and grew to 100,000 children's books published from 1668 to the twenty-first century. Celebrating Research: Rare and Special Collections from the Membership of the Association of Research Libraries represents a spectrum of rare printed materials and artifacts, from antediluvian items to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's DSpace@MIT, a digital research repository, and Wayne State University's "Digital Dress: 200 Years of Urban Style," a digital image collection of American and European garments.
