These dolls, created in 1939 by the WPA for the Indiana Deaf History Museum, are part of the “Welcome to the Museum!” exhibit celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Indiana School for the Deaf. On display in the state library until Sept., over 35 dolls are featured. #dolls #WPA

Controversial opinion: deaccessioning is super necessary and helps us have stronger, more relevant collections. Not everything is history - sometimes we make bad collecting decisions.

This morning we should all stand in awe of the medieval stonemasons who designed and built a cathedral that could withstand the most devastating of fires. What modern building could survive this? These people knew their stuff.

Can we now stop using 'medieval' as a pejorative?

I see a lot of people saying “it’s just a building.” But history matters. Tradition and faith matter. We’re not wrong to be enchanted by its beauty, and we’re not wrong to grieve its destruction.

Volunteers jump in to clean up African-American museum. Proud of our students who step up to support the community that supports them.

At what point should one stop looking at increasingly interesting sources and just start writing the damn paper? Asking for a friend.
