We Been Here
Rare Books
We Been Here depicts Anaheim, California, as a contested site, examining gentrification, colonized land, and Mexican, Chicanx, and Latinx histories. Camargo's work considers how Orange County's Anaheim is often portrayed through homogenous mythologies, demarcated by the entertainment resort Disneyland, and yet home to a brown working class. We Been Here enacts counterstories to challenge the erasure and mischaracterization of Latinx communities, revealing buried histories of oppression and disempowerment in the region contrasted by community activism. By centering the lived experiences of people of color, Camargo inserts the importance of photographic narratives to empower and rewrite dominant canons of lens-based practices, picturing Anaheim for whom it represents. --Seaton Street Press website.

M31 Field IV -- Eclipsing binaries I
Manuscripts
The collection contains approximately 2,400 items in 12 boxes. The correspondence (Parts 1 and 2) has been grouped together alphabetically by correspondent. The correspondence includes letters from a variety of astronomers from around the world as well as general astronomy questions from members of the public. The correspondence also deals with women in astronomy and in the Beverly T. Lynds folder is a list of women members of the Astronomical Association of America. The majority of the letters written by Swope are retained copies. The arrangement of her astronomical working papers, however, mirrors that of the collection when it was obtained by the Huntington. The folder titles for the working papers are, for the most part, those of Henrietta Swope herself. The majority of the working papers deal with Swope's research and work on the Milky Way, M31 (Andromeda Galaxy), variable stars, cepheids, Magellanic Clouds, and the Draco System (these folders include notes, photographs and charts.) There are also four black and white photographs that may be of Swope receiving the Annie Jump Cannon Prize in 1968 and several miscellaneous manuscripts, reprints, articles by Swope and others, journals, bulletins, notes, pieces of ephemera and several hundred IBM cards.

Initiatory Drawing Cards, Part I
Visual Materials
One set of drawing cards entitled Initiatory Drawing Cards, Part I, by B.F. Nutting, printed by M. J. Whipple, Boston, Massachusetts, 1848. Originally the set came with 18 cards; only seventeen are present in this set--card 10 is missing. Each of the cards is single-sided, and bear a "1" in the upper left-hand corner and a different number in the upper right-hand corner. One card is unnumbered and appears to have been added at a later time. The cards are each described in an instructional pamphlet, eight pages in length, which is entitled Initiatory Drawing Cards, In Four Parts: Eighteen Cards in Each, Presenting Carefully Drawn Examples, and Accompanied by Directions Illustrating the First Principles of Drawing; for the Use of Schools and Families. The pamphlet also features instructions in basic drawing techniques. On the upper right-hand corner of the pamphlet's cover there is a handwritten note, in pencil, which reads "17 (of 18) cards / #10 Lacking/ 35-/ c.f. xix of Drepperd Amer. Draw. [?] NY 1946." The cards and the pamphlet were originally enclosed in an envelope with a green-criss-cross design.
