On the 191st birthday of our first University Librarian Willard Fiske, the president of Iceland visited our rich Fiske Icelandic Collection. To honor the visit, we gifted President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson with a custom-made book of images from the collection. ♥️🇮🇸

Tool making workshop (thanks J. Peachy!) skillfully led by Senior Conservation Technicians Caitlin and Adam —great bamboo and deldrin tools resulted!!

The faint line at the edge of the print (and extending down) is the fine strand holding the display page open. Nearly invisible! Most of the book supported with polystrap. But w/the strand, the opening is unobstructed. Beautiful!

🤩 @SecondGentleman visiting @librarycongress to learn about his new role + the history that shaped it—featuring the wonderful Michelle Krowl who assisted @Cornell_Library w/our Gettysburg Address research. Those documents!!! 🤩👏
I'm so incredibly honored and humbled to be the first @SecondGentleman of the United States. As we countdown to Inauguration Day, I've been doing my homework—and looking to the past for inspiration.

The #HelenMuspratt photographic archive was recently gifted to the Libraries. We’re working on its long term storage.
The prints & negatives in the pioneering photographer's collection present a few preservation challenges...
One solution: biscuits!

Definitely a pivot towards a more equitable, inclusive, and just field. Conservation is really small and homogenous, and we've become so open about talking about it and, as conservators do, problem solving! We're examining how we do our work and who does this work...
