The Descriptive Notes editorial team is pleased to announce the publication of a post in our rolling History and Heritage Months series, in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
In "Archival Imagination: Considering the Subjects in the DuBois S. Morris Papers," archivist Amy C. Vo writes about the visual materials, particularly lantern slides, present in a missionary's collection held at Princeton University Library, reflecting on feelings of personal connections, historical imagination, and the gaps in description. This post is also cross-posted to the blog's rolling Favorite Finding Aids series.
