Title
2018 Library Exhibit: Blake@Union: From Print to Digital to Print
Description
This exhibit in Schaffer Library was curated by student assistant Caitlin Williams’18 as a companion to the release of this website. With a focus on the three themes of the website (showcasing the library’s collection, celebrating Blake as a “maker,” and preserving and promoting student research and creativity), the exhibit features material from the library’s collections as well as its archive of student work to demonstrate the on-going relevance of print in a digital age. Like the website, the goal of the exhibit is to show how the advantages of digitization can be used to create a greater awareness of the library’s physical collection of works by Blake, draw researchers to it, and perpetuate conversations among students for years to come. It is also the occasion for a “Blake@Union” student prize competition to create additional material for the exhibit and website.
