We are excited to announce the opening of a new exhibit at the Special Collections Research Center: Brothers and Uncles, Kings and Typecutters: Five generations of Estienne printing in Michigan Collections (1512-1625). Curated by SI student Sara Brooks, this extraordinary exhibit explores the evolution of the printed page through the prism of the Estienne dynasty, a remarkable family of scholar-printers who were active in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Join the Book Arts Studio and the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive for a pop-up printing event in the Shapiro Gallery on Tuesday, Oct. 28th, from 4-5pm.

Excavations is a novel by Kate Myers about four women working at an archaeological site in Greece, which was supposed to have been the home of the ancient Olympic Games before they moved to Olympia. The women all have very different personalities, and at first, they don’t get along, with two of them actively disliking each other, but when they find an artifact that might change history, they must work together against the egotistical, male chauvinist professor who oversees the dig. It is a highly entertaining novel which, according to rumor, is being made into a TV series.
