选择项目: 解放者 杂志《珍本藏书》,1918-1924年
这是什么? A socialist magazine first published in the spring of 1918, focused on worker’s rights and women’s rights, promoting socialism as an alternative to capitalism. 该出版物是由劳工活动家、作家和社会主义者马克斯·伊士曼和他的妹妹、女权主义律师克里斯托·伊士曼创立的。
你为什么选择它? “The magazine had a staff of talented writers and artists that included Black writers and women artists. 这本杂志最让我感兴趣的是克劳德·麦凯(Claude McKay),他是牙买加出生的著名诗人和作家。 He first published his most famous poem of the Harlem Renaissance, ‘If We Must Die,’ in the 解放者,然后在其他出版物上重新发表。 The art and illustrations in the magazine show a period of great strife and turmoil, but also hope.”
选定项目:第一版 道路上的灰尘痕迹 佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿著,《珍本藏书》,1942年
这是什么? A first edition of American author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston’s autobiography.
你为什么选择它? “Zora Neale Hurston is my favorite author and I just love seeing the first edition about her life on the shelves of our library. 我非常爱她,所以我威博体育我的第一个也是唯一的孩子取名为佐拉。 I am also fascinated by all she accomplished in her life not only as a writer, but also as an anthropologist, and her dedication to understanding the lives of Black people in the South and Black Southern culture.”

单品: 变态:1-5型 M. Prull,艺术家藏书,2022年
这是什么? 这本书里有像x射线一样的骨骼图像,上面画着金箔的部分,这些图像反映了艺术家在接受激素替代疗法时注意到的变化。
你为什么选择它? “The Citra-Solv process used to print these is labor intensive and imperfect, and inevitably leaves gaps and holes in the image, which Prull fills with gold leaf. 对他来说,这反映了存在的不完美本质。
这是我最喜欢的作品之一,因为作为一个目前正在服用睾酮的人,我认为自己是一个跨男性的人,这是一件我真正能产生共鸣的艺术品,我在其中看到了自己。 在层次化的图像和金箔与黑白图像之间的鲜明对比中,有这样一种美。 身体图像的微妙变化相互叠加并呈现在页面上的方式对我来说非常直观。 The gold leaf applied on the pictures reminds me of kintsugi in ceramics and does a great job of highlighting the beauty in imperfections.”
单品: “Toilet Paper Introduction” by Amiri Baraka, the Philip Whalen Collection, 1950s
这是什么? 阿米里·巴拉卡(原名勒罗伊·琼斯)与艾伦·金斯伯格和格里高利·科索在卫生纸上打出的介绍。
你为什么选择它? “This introduction between poets is very open, honest, and even harkens back to the material it’s presented on: ‘I’m writing on this kind of paper because I think I am shit. So are we all etc…I am a poet. Yes, I will say it on toilet paper, too.’
I really enjoy this item because it is truly unlike anything I’ve seen before, and something I wouldn’t have ever thought existed. 在档案中发现了这个,让我对Amiri Baraka以及他那个时代的其他诗人的狂野职业和生活进行了一些研究,也让我想到了卫生纸的保存,这是我以前从未想过的事情。 This introduction also really highlighted the curious nature and artistic choices of poets and artists, which I don’t think I understand any better, but I do have a greater appreciation for.”

单品: Guerilla Girls’s poster portfolio, Artists Books Collection, 1985-99
这是什么? 一群女权主义艺术家的海报集合,目的是在艺术界对抗威博体育歧视和种族主义。
你为什么选择它? “Each piece serves as a visually striking reminder of the ongoing fight for equity, making the portfolio not just art, but a powerful tool for education and advocacy. I like the Guerilla Girls’ posters because they are both thought provoking and pleasing to the eye as a work of art.”
Laura Johnson ’25, History, 档案 Student Assistant
单品: “Field Guide to 威博体育 Clothing,” 威博体育 Scrapbook Collection, 2006
这是什么? A scrapbook made by a student in 2006 that categorizes all the different ‘species’ of Reed students by their clothing. Some of the types of students they write about include ‘The Hipsters,’ ‘Scrounger,’ and ‘Conspicuously Over-dressed Student.’
你为什么选择它? “This scrapbook is one of my favorite things in the archives because it’s a fun way to look at Reed’s past culture, and see how it has stayed the same and changed over time.”
Marissa Cooper ’26, Neuroscience, 档案 Student Assistant
项目:《人体解剖学立体图集》,《珍本藏书》1952- 1963年
这是什么? 解剖取景器幻灯片显示身体的工作系统。
你为什么选择它? “These are a great way to understand many working systems of the body all the while being entertained by a nostalgic instrument. 考虑到解剖模型似乎是尸体,它们也有一种令人毛骨悚然的性质。 幻灯片的质量也很好。 It has a 3D nature that makes you wonder why viewfinders aren’t being used in classes. They’re educational! They’re interactive! They’re fun!”
