Food Literacy for All Showcase

"Do you know why the US Food Administration was created? Nope, it's not for public health reasons! Rather, it was created on August 17, 1917 by executive order primarily to provide food for the Allies in Europe during World War I. The US launched a rigorous campaign, greatly humanitarian in nature, onboarding roughly half the families in the nation to take on food pledges with weekly meatless, sweetless, porkless, and wheatless days to ship those foods to soldiers and starving civilians in Europe. This campaign demonstrates how the lack of overindulgence in food sympolizes patrioatism in the US during WWI."

Spotlight on food history posters prepared by students enrolled in the Food Literacy for All (Winter 2024), a community-academic partnership course hosted by the University of Michigan Sustainable Food Systems Initiative. Read more!

New Neighborhood Archive Collections

Last year, we received a Legacy Grant from the Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants program to organize and preserve archival collections from local community groups, including neighborhood associations, business groups, community service agencies, and more.

Thanks to the work of two dedicated archival processors, several of these archival collections have been completely organized, preserved for generations of future use, and described in detailed finding aids. Most of these are newly donated additions to the library collection, and some are existing collections that have been reorganized and better described to make them even more useful to library patrons. Work is well underway on many additional collections that will be finished soon.

Check out these finished finding aids:

Lowry Hill Residents, Inc. Records

Nokomis East Neighborhood Association Records

Jordan Area Community Council Records

Simpson Housing Services Records

Dinkytown Business Alliance Records

Camden Area Community Concerns Council Records (reorganized)

Central Neighborhood Improvement Association Records (reorganized)

Cedar Lake Park Association Records (reorganized)

Linden Hills Neighborhood Council Records (reorganized)

Musings of a Museum Professional.

There are many times in my job where I wish I had a time machine. Today’s reason is so I can go back in time and ask the person in charge of putting together the research library collection why they felt the museum needed books on cat care.

#museums #museum work #museum life #museum worker #research collections #archival collections #don't get me wrong I love cats #we have a museum cat #but we don't need cat care books in our research library #artemis speaks

Soviet Contraband : Publishing free thinkers in the Soviet Union

Evgeny Popov, Vasilii Aksenov, and Viktor Erofeev [Erofeyev] holding the Ardis printed copy of their anthology: Metropol. The publishing of Metropol was a key moment for Soviet Writers as many would face punishment for going against the government’s censorship.

Join us next Thursday, 16 November between 4-6p for our next Third Thursdays at the Library event!

Drop by the Special Collections Research Center, 6th floor Hatcher Library, any time during this open house to learn about the Ardis Press and their involvement in publishing censored materials and smuggling them back into the Soviet Union for the masses. Light refreshments will be provided.

The event will feature materials from the Ardis Press Records. These materials have recently been re-processed by archivist Sarah Conrad, rehousing some materials into acid-free folders and boxes and creating a new arrangement for the collection.

Come by to explore these materials, and be sure to check out the other Third Thursdays at

the Library events, with selections from the Clark Library and International Studies!

Buy physical media. Buy CDs. Buy records. Buy tapes. Buy books. Buy physical artwork or prints. Take photos of yourself and get them developed at a photo processing booth. Write your thoughts down in a journal. Why? Because as this world get more digital, what's physical will slowly but surely disappear. There will be less things you can touch and feel, and more things that you can see and not touch. You can post all the digital pics you want on social media...nothing is assured and those pics and those platforms could be gone in an instant. An album on streaming platforms will never be the same as the original album in your hand with the liner notes, as versions of that album can get removed, and/or replaced with re-recorded material (since the artist doesn't own their masters). Books go out of print. And staring at a jpeg (no matter how much you paid for it *cough cough* NFTs) of an artwork will never be the same as owning the actual artwork or a print of it.

Preserve these things. If not for yourself, then for future generations.
