Join us on Monday, September 30, to celebrate and honor Reverend Edward Mitchell’s life and work! A graduate of the class of 1828, he was the first person of African descent to graduate from any school now identified as part of the Ivy League, and the third self-identified man of color to graduate from any American college. This day-long event series brings together international collaborators, the Libraries, Mitchell’s biographer, and more to highlight Mitchell’s unique story and legacy.

From panels and events that demonstrated the interconnectedness of Rauner Special Collections Library with fellow library teams and the Dartmouth community, to welcoming Bruce Rauner '78 to the Libraries, the festivities kept on giving! 

One spectacular session was Regina (Gina) Barreca ‘79 closing keynote speech. With grace, humor, and verve, she capped a celebratory week honoring Rauner Library’s 25th anniversary. 

In the ever-evolving technological landscape, one concept stands out as both a beacon of progress and a source of intrigue and concern: artificial intelligence (AI). Once confined to the realms of speculative fiction and film, AI - particularly generative AI - has emerged as a tangible force reshaping the fabric of our reality.

Dartmouth undergrads are conducting research in every academic discipline, from the sciences and social sciences to the humanities and creative arts. However, they don't have many opportunities to share their work with audiences outside their research fields.

Dartmouth Libraries has acquired a first printing copy of the self-published Narrative of Sojourner Truth: A Northern Slave (Boston: The Author, 1850). It is a slender work at 144 pages but loaded with power.

To hold, see, and read Sojourner Truth's words for yourself, visit Rauner Special Collections Library and request Rare E185.97 .T87 1850.

Explore the dynamic interplay of historical moments and societal contradictions in an illuminating Library of Congress interview with our colleague Toben Traver, Project Manager for the NEH-funded New Hampshire Digital Newspaper Project.

For the first time in 65 years, a total solar eclipse will pass over New Hampshire, and Dartmouth is abuzz! The eclipse transition will be visible here from about 2:15pm, with 98% totality predicted at 3:28pm. Though, local weather may be a gamble.

Tricia Martone, Research & Learning Librarian STEM, collated an excellent collection of resources to expand your eclipse knowledge.
