We have especially good archives related to NASA, US Antarctic science, ranching history, American nature writing, and the Vietnam War. Our museum's Clothing/Textile department has a huge collection, with strengths in quilts and southwest history. Come hang out for a year! #envhist #histsci
Any recent PhDs still looking for something for this coming academic year should apply to our postdoc! Its inaugural holder was a classicist!

End of an era today! I just signed away the title to the little blue Kia hatchback I bought new in 2007.
18 years, 160k miles, titled in 4 states, and an appearance in the NYT…definitely got my $17k out of it.
(And it’s still going - I’ve signed it over to a family member for commuting to work!)
