Giving Thanks

As the year comes to a close, we would like to thank all of our subscribers for their support. We know these past couple of years have been challenging, and we are grateful to all of you.

We also know that our local museum associations have been tireless in assisting the museum community. We are proud supporters of many of these associations. As we end the year we hope that you too will consider making a contribution to your local museum association!

Subscriber Spotlight

Transylvania University Library

The J. Douglas Gay Jr./Frances Carrick Thomas Library is at the heart of Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. Founded in 1780- even before Kentucky became a state, Transylvania University boasts a fascinating history: it was the first university in Kentucky, and the Library was dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower after its completion in 1952.

Home to 118,000 physical titles (111,000 available online), 15,000+ online journal titles, a 4000-volume reference collection, and more, the Transylvania University Library also houses a sizable special collection that includes the Farris Rare Book Room—an extensive collection of nineteenth century medical texts.

The Transylvania University Library is often open for students 7 days a week with varying hours, and offers special collections research services by appointment on their website. To explore a selection from their collections virtually, browse their CatalogIt Hub page where you’ll currently find a variety of artworks, as well as fascinating objects from the Moosnick Scientific Collection which were used to teach medical students in the 19th century- look for the giant hairball!
