Patrick Olson joined us at the beginning of last semester as a new Special Collections Librarian in charge of collections analysis and acquisitions.\u00a0 Patrick was most recently a rare book cataloger at M.I.T and came to Special Collections librarianship via the rare book trade.\u00a0 Stop by and ask him about rare books or climbing mountains!<\/p>\n

With Patrick in place,\u00a0Special Collections has\u00a0seen a flurry of activity this semester with boxes arriving almost daily with new donations and purchases.\u00a0 The items are in various stages of being catalogued and processed so what follows here is an overview of new arrivals, with more announcements to follow soon.<\/p>\n

Books:<\/p>\n

Most recently we announced an extremely important purchase of twelve incunables (books from ~1450-1501).\u00a0 Read our blog post <\/a>and stay tuned, we’ll have updates as they are cataloged and ready for research.<\/p>\n
