Oh my! We almost missed National Cat Day. If we had, you would have needed to wait a whole year to see these pics of cats wearing top hats! The cats don't look too happy, but we think they are cute. From the James B. and John J. McNamara papers. @UCLibraries #catswithhats

Do you have eclipse fever?
We do, so we're sharing some materials on the total solar eclipse of Aug. 1869 housed in the records of the Cincinnati Observatory. You don't need special glasses to view them...just a research appointment!

The most asked question from our tabling at Langsam Library has been why were freshwomen not allowed to hold seances in the basement window-seats??? Rule 15 from the 1914 freshwomen rules as published in the University Record newspaper.

Back from the Preservation Lab...E. Lucy Braun's graduate school thesis from 1912. A botanist and conservationist, Braun and her sister, Annette (an entomologist), both received PhDs from @uofcincy and became pioneers in their fields.
