REGISTRATION REQUIRED From the early antecedents in the Utah Room to the most contemporary iteration… For the curators, archivists, and librarians working in Special Collections Divisions across the state and the country, maintaining a historical record through the collection of manuscripts, multimedia, and printed forms is not only important to their work, but also necessary to their institutions. Despite all this, we are often unaware of the need to maintain our own records for future use. This presentation considers the archival history of the archives themselves, and demonstrates the importance of developing and maintaining institutional knowledge. We trace the trajectory and evolution of the Division over the last seven decades, with unique holdings from each department that tell a story of dedication, scholarship, and commitment to research and access. Join us this month to learn more about the History of Special Collections with Archiving the Archives – an exclusive showcase in the Rare Books Classroom on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26, from 4:00 – 6:00 PM. Space will be limited to 40 people per day and reservations will be required. Reserve your spot by emailing Lyuba Basin at lyuba.basin@utah.edu

This April, the Golden Braid Books Community Book Club is reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. We have lots of copies in stock, so come on by and get yours today! Keep in touch with us throughout the month on our Instagram and Facebook pages, and then we’ll convene here at the Braid for our book club meeting to talk about the book, meet some new folks, and share some insights and mutual love of reading. About the Book: Ray Bradbury's moving recollection of a vanished golden era remains one of his most enchanting novels. Dandelion Wine stands out in the Bradbury literary canon as the author's most deeply personal work, a semi-autobiographical recollection of a magical small-town summer in 1928. Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole wide world that lies beyond the city limits. It is a pair of brand-new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather's renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley's bell on a hazy afternoon. It is yesteryear and tomorrow blended into an unforgettable always. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals whose mystical power holds time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine who can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future. Come and savor Ray Bradbury's priceless distillation of all that is eternal about boyhood and summer. https://www.goldenbraidslc.com/events/april-book-club-dandelion-wine
