- Wachel Collection of Early Photographs, MsC1040. \u00a0Includes daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, ferreotypes or tintypes, and cyanotypes. It also contains a collection of union cases, mostly holding miniature photographs of the Civil War era. Of special note is an album titled “Canoe Trip 1915” which is the record of a canoe trip taken in Illinois by four men, presumably brothers of the name of Jehren. It is enhanced by the inclusion of rhyming couplets commenting on what is occurring in the photographs. \u00a0http:\/\/aspace.lib.uiowa.edu\/repositories\/2\/resources\/2631<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/a>The recently-retired power plant whistle has arrived at the library! Many thanks to Kyle Smith, electronics instrumentation supervisor in the power plant and whistle historian, for making this possible.<\/p>\nThe whistle is the third of a line first used at the plant in 1939; this particular one functioned from sometime between 1992 and 1994 until last Tuesday, when #4 was activated. More about the whistle and its history is at http:\/\/now.uiowa.edu\/2015\/11\/whistle-work<\/a><\/p>\nYou can see a photo of this whistle in action in 2011 here.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2. Marie Curie Dedication<\/h4>\n
Marie Curie inscribed this lovely edition of Pierre Curie <\/em>to Laird Clark Addis, the father of the donor. Laird C. Addis donated the book earlier this year, along with another that will be featured next week. We are very excited to receive these pieces of scientific history.<\/p>\n
