Where else would you hear about extracting sunbeams from cucumbers or hear the real back story of the Duke-Alabama football rivalry? Blog followers were the first to hear that Duke had acquired the papers of South Carolina author Dorothy Allison, Nobel-laureate economist Paul Samuelson, and jazz master Frank Foster. Together we marked holidays large and small with selections from our collections, from Thanksgiving to Free Comic Book Day, proving that there’s something in our collections for every occasion (and almost every research interest).
Thank you to everyone who has posted a comment or passed on a post to a friend.

Happy Birthday Devil's Tale! I'm one of your biggest fans. A big pat on the back for Amy for all of her hard work on the blog. We wished you a happy anniversary yesterday, complete with cake in honor of National Dessert Month.
ReplyDeleteHere's to another year filled with interesting posts and wonderful finds from the collections.
