Poe’s name in @UVA’s list of library fines for 1826 @RareUVA

In the background, the book Poe returned late: 4th vol of Rollin’s Oeuvres Complètes (1807).

Poe paid 58 of the 60 cents due. In the early 20th c, students from Virginia Intermont College paid the remaining 2 cents.

Year-in review highlights: The Rotunda Planetarium. Using Thomas Jefferson’s notes, found in Special Collections, @MadelineZehnder, @NealDCurtis, & @samuellemley realized his vision of a planetarium with constellations projected on the Rotunda dome.

Clemons first floor has been closed since mid-March. Just went down there for the first time in a while. Strange...has that always been there?

Gayle’s depth of knowledge and patient regard for detail and accuracy are legendary. She’s led me and the @RotundaLibrary team out of many research labyrinths over the years.
