Blog topic: New acquisitions

Stanford Libraries recently acquired two new titles in the American History Collection published by Rotunda (University of Virginia Press): The Booker T. Washington Papers and the Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted.  These digital editions offer fully searchable online versions of these two essential documentary editions.

In October of 2020, Stanford Libraries and the Hamid and the Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies held a one day conference and published an online digital exhibit focused on the Iranian writer and intellectual, Shahrokh Meskoob (1924-2005). 

Stan Brakhage (1933-2003) is regarded as one of the most significant figures in the post-war history of experimental filmmaking in the United States. A special one night only triple-play viewing was held last week to celebrate Stan Brakhage, these new acquistions, and the donor, Prof. Margaret Cohen. These silent films are from the Songs cyle (1964-1969) including 23rd Psalm Branch (1966-1967), which is anomalous in its length and content.
