I’m excited to share our September newsletter as we kick-off the fall term here at Phillips Academy. This issue has stories on our efforts to improve intellectual and physical control of our object and archive collections, as well as information about lessons that we are prepared to share with PA students and faculty. This fall we will be open for quiet study on Thursday evenings—something that students have been interested in for some time. Also, check out our upcoming events—including a night of oyster tasting with acclaimed author Rowan Jacobsen!

Shelving to the rescue

Moving the objects from the wooden drawers into the boxes revealed just how heavy some of those drawers were – some too heavy to be supported by the new archival boxes.
