It's been gray and rainy recently, so we're glad we captured these pretty #autumn #hofviews (taken from Axinn Library) earlier in the week. Have a great weekend, @HofstraU! #Hofstra

Vice Dean for Administrative & User Services Sarah McCleskey led a fascinating presentation for Prof. Merrill’s Gender, Race, Sexuality & the Struggle for Women's Suffrage seminar yesterday. The students were fascinated by the materials from our collections. @HofstraU #Hofstra

Really enjoyed the "Love is the Message" exhibition tour @ the @HU_Museum on Wed. night! Dir. Sasha Giordano and Erik Sumner, community activist & Art Teacher, Northern Parkway Elementary School, Uniondale, gave a very insightful look into the life & photography of @JamelShabazz

Last week we had a super fun visit with Lynn Liotta, a consultant from the Freeport Historical Society & Museum. Here we all are checking out items from our #RaynorFamilyCollection & our #SmithWallaceFamilyCollection, both of which are Freeport related. #LongIsland #History

We processed this c.1860 carte-de-visite of Martha (“Mattie”) Valentine (Willets) Bowne over 15 years ago, but it was still the first photo to come to mind when we were thinking of something to post as a #FridayFavorite! #RushmoreFamilyCollection

With the B-52s and DEVO playing at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Sunday, we thought we’d throw it back to Nov. 1982, when the B-52s played @Hofstrau on a double bill with The Ramones!!! #Hofstra #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #BIG80s
