Excited to share that the manuscript of George Orwell's 1984, in the @brownlibrary collections is now available online: repository.library.brown.edu…
So excited for @nestinthestacks!
I'm elated to announce I've accepted a job as Assistant Curator of Rare Books at @LindaHall_org! I'm so excited to join the library team and work with an amazing collection in the history of science. Kansas City, here we come!
#IWasAnEnglishMajor and now I work as a special collections librarian, teaching students, instructors, and the wider community about primary source literacy.

Brown University has acquired Mumia Abu-Jamal’s personal archive. Abu-Jamal, convicted of the 1981 murder of a police officer, became the face of the anti-death penalty movement and a widely published commentator on the prison system. nyti.ms/3ccwUNe
So excited to share this collection with our community, and incredibly proud of my colleagues for their hard work in bringing this collection to the Hay.
The @BrownLibrary and @PembrokeCenter have acquired a vast set of records, writings and artwork from Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist and political activist whose 1982 murder conviction and death sentence stirred debates about racial injustice. brown.edu/news/2022-08-24/in…
Really enjoyed the Power of New Voices sessions. So many smart, thoughtful, and creative approaches to the challenges many face in this field #rbms22
