Sourdough is a magical story. The sourdough culture is alive, the bread is amazing, and the story is rollicking.

Visit us on the sixth floor of the Hatcher Library to see this exciting exhibit! It consists of a selection of historical bookbinding models from the personal collection of conservator and scholar, Julia Miller. In 2015 and 2016, Julia bequeathed her extensive model collection to the Special Collections Research Center. Now named as The Julia Miller Collection of Bookbinding Models, it includes binding replicas of ancient and medieval manuscripts in various materials and formats, including a variety of Graeco-Roman tablet models, Coptic codices from the 3rd to the 10th century AD, and medieval European, Near Eastern, and Islamic binding models from the 12th to the 17th century.
