Exhibit of Recent Aquisitions at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library
Description:
This exhibit includes an extraordinarily wide variety of primary source material collected to support current and future research. Among the items on display are: a watercolor âportraitâ of a railroad bridge built in Prague in 1850, original artwork by local artist Tom Pohrt for a children's book written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a diary and photographs from a female UM student who hitchhiked from Ann Arbor to San Francisco in 1923, a Spanish text from 1693 for those studying to be soldiers, and Dante's Divine Comedy with illustrations by Salvador Dali.
New archival collections with samples on display include the papers of film director Robert Altman and writers Nicholas Delbanco and Richard Tillinghast, as well as four separate women involved in radical causes such as Clarence Darrow's 1907 defense of union leaders accused of murder and the ecological costs of technology. This is the first opportunity for the public to see materials from the Altman Collection, which is estimated to be 1,000 linear feet in size and is now being sorted and processed for use.
