The first exhibition I’ve helped to put on at Queens’ as part of my graduate trainee librarianship! 🪲🦋 a particular highlight was researching and writing a caption on Lady Cavendish
The Queens’ graduate trainee helped curate the latest exhibition in Queens Old Library which was shown today, entitled ‘Theatre of Insects: the history of entomology in Queens' Old Library’ 🪲🦋🐛🐜 Here are some photos of books taken during the curation of the exhibition!
Finally, our panel on "What is the Comic Text?" — what happens at the intersections of authorial script and performer improvisation, or text and emblem, or manuscripts and marginalia (if those marginalia are snails)?

Ther ys so much beautye yn the worlde, and so much to wonder at, and so manye goode, kynde, thoughtful, brave people tryinge to helpe as much as thei kan. Nevir, evir forget thys most ymportant truth.
Wyth all my heart, Ich wisshe you well. Ich hope that you fynde momentes for mirthe, or connectioun, or rest, or delighte, or peace, or wondir, or lovelinesse. Ich hope you aske for helpe when you need, and give helpe when you kan. Ich wisshe you all the goode things you deserve.
Studyinge the literatures of the past ys not antiquarian distractioun, nor ys it implicit praise of what ys studied; ynstead, critical studye of past literatures ys vital for seekinge more just, equitable, capacious, and hopeful futures. The presente ys just one part of progress.
im actually a sucker for things in life that move my heart even a little, yes i will tear up at something beautiful, i will cherish how good hugs feel, when a stranger compliments me, random acts of kindness, platonic love, getting excited abt lil outings w ppl i love
