SCUA sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of #DanielEllsberg, who died this morning at 1:24am, 3 days after the 52nd anniversary of the publication of the Pentagon Papers. SCUA will continue to shepherd his legacy via his voluminous archive at UMass Amherst.

Wonder how archivists evaluate new collections? In addition to fit for our 4 main collecting areas, we consider the actual materials: e.g. types/richness of documents, historical and cultural significance of the people or topics represented. Learn more: scua.library.umass.edu/overview/what-…
