This past summer, Special Collections was delighted to have Sarah Alender as an intern, who is working toward her MLS at the University of Wisconsin-Milwalkee School of Information Studies.
While here, Sarah was given the opportunity to create an exhibition. Working with Head of Special Collections, Blythe Roveland-Brenton, and Special Collections Librarian, Jean Green, she created “Here, There and Everywhere: Traveling Through Special Collections.” The exhibit features materials from a wide variety of collections including the Local History Collection, the Tilly Losch Collection, the National/International Postcard Collection and the Haggerty Collection. The materials displayed provide the opportunity to travel the world during different eras without ever leaving Special Collections!
With these materials, you are taken on a voyage, first traveling within the local area and New York State region, on to the rest of the U.S., and then traveling throughout the world. From Binghamton, New York to Leningrad in the former Soviet Union, and from the 18th century until the turn of the new millennium, it is truly a grand tour.
