Finding Science in the Special Collections

This week, members of our Rhetoric of Science graduate seminar had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Marriott Library’s Special Collections. Original Cataloger for Special Collections, Allie McCormack (pictured below in the front of the class), prepared an engaging and illuminating presentation about archival search engines, theory, and analysis, and she let us page through some really cool (and, in many cases, very old) science-oriented artifacts.

Newton. Opticks, 1704.
Look at those thoughts and ideas a-percolating . . . until next time, Special Collections!
