DESCRIPTION:LSU Libraries Special Collections will present “Unlocking Speci
 al Collections: A Selection of Staff Favorites” in the first-floor exhibiti
 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.

DESCRIPTION:LSU Libraries Special Collections will present “Unlocking Speci
 al Collections: A Selection of Staff Favorites” in the first-floor exhibiti
 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.

 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.

 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.

 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.

 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.

 on gallery of Hill Memorial Library from April 6\, 2026\, to July 31\, 2026
 . The exhibition is free and open to the public. \n\n \n\nA meander map of 
 the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depo
 ts and Martin Luther King\, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field gu
 ide. Marginalia\, sketches\, letters\, and postcards. At first glance\, the
 se items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is 
 that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each i
 tem displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Libra
 ry team\, offering insight into both the collections and the people who pre
 serve and share them.\n\n \n\nChoosing a favorite from a collection as vast
  and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an
  ongoing social media campaign that began last summer\, inviting participan
 ts to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. The
 y rose to the occasion\, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections.
  Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades\, while others have been
  here less than a year\, but each has amassed incredible insight into these
  items in their tenure\, providing a unique overview of the collections as 
 a whole. Their favorite items\, first showcased on social media and now hig
 hlighted within the exhibition\, act as an initial foray into some of the b
 est kept secrets of Special Collections. \n\n \n\nThese unique items speak 
 to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections th
 ey reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In v
 iewing the selections within this exhibition\, the curators hope visitors w
 ill be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover t
 heir own favorites.
