This spring break, I took a variety of planes, trains, and automobiles to get to Smith College in Northampton, MA, and to do research in the Sophia Smith Collection of Women’s History held in Smith’s Special Collection Reading Room.
My visit was a lovely adventure that had me filling out call slips like this one below (wherein you can see that I thought it was June, but it was actually March–whoops!), and getting my hands on amazing primary sources that I needed to access for my current book project (like this pamphlet by Dr. Hannah Mayer Stone):
I took lots of notes and photos and enjoyed the view from the library’s windows. It wasn’t a traditional spring break, but it was a fantastic one.
