Greetings colleagues,
The FSU and the University Archives and Special Collections department in the Healey Library invite you to join us for an Archives Open House on Thursday, March 30 from 1:30-3:30. The event will be held in the Archives Research Room on the fifth floor of the Healey Library, and light refreshments will be served in the adjoining Grossmann Gallery. Join your archivist colleagues and members of the FSU Executive Committee to explore a selection of materials representing the many wonderful primary source research collections that our library holds, such as original materials documenting local community organizations, social activism, the history of social work, Massachusetts politics, the Vietnam War, the women’s liberation and gay rights movements, the arts, the environment, and much more.
Highlights will include:
- Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr.’s chambers papers on the Boston schools desegregation case
- Judge A. David Mazzone’s chambers papers on the Boston Harbor cleanup case
- League of American Bicyclists records
- Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive
- Southeast Asian Oral History Project records
- Faculty Staff Union records
- Photographs and founding documents of UMass Boston
- A selection from our rare books collection, including a rare 1969 edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with original prints by Salvador Dalí
Unable to join us for this event, but interested in incorporating the Healey Library’s Archives into your research and scholarship? Please email library.archives@umb.edu to speak with an archivist or schedule a research appointment, or explore the Archives’ digital collections site.
Also, please save the date on Thursday, April 6 from 12:30-2:00 for a virtual FSU forum on issues concerning the library and the working conditions of our FSU librarians.
Sincerely,
Jessica Holden
