We have a new finding aid up on the web site. It’s for the Carl Jacobi Collection (PCL MS-68). Mr. Jacobi was a notable author of horror, fantasy, science, and adventure fiction.

The finding aid is located at: http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/pcl/pclms68.html. Try this search to find books Mr. Jacobi wrote in the University Libraries.

Stop in a take a look at our Black Romance Authors display set up on the first floor of Jerome Library for Black History Month in February. We have manuscript collections for many of these authors.

Thanks to Eric Honneffer for another gorgeous display!

We are busy working to organize and update various parts of our collection and, in doing so, are finding items that are difficult to define. We are going to begin crowdsourcing images to see if anyone can identify these items. Here’s our first one:

Who is he?

Is he a mascot? How old is he? Does he have a name?

He’s about 2 cm. tall and has “Lewtan USA” on his back.

If anyone has any information about this pin, please contact us at 419-37-2-2450 or pcldesk@bgsu.edu.

Thanks!

Come on up and check out our Vampires in Popular Culture display. It includes books, DVDs, realia (3D materials).

We’re going to begin sending out updates when some of our manuscript collections are updated with new items.

To begin, we’ve just updated PCL MS-49: Anthony Slide Collection, the manuscript collection of Dr. Anthony Slide, renowned film historian and scholar, adding more manuscripts and research files to the collection, among other things.

Take a look at the records of some of his books below!
