You\u27ve Gotta Read This: Summer Reading at Musselman Library (2023)
Full text linkEach year, Musselman Library asks Gettysburg College faculty, staff, and administrators to help create a suggested summer reading list. We hope to inspire students and the rest of our community to take time in the summer to sit back, relax, and read or watch a memorable film.
For 2023, 100 employees offer 134 recommendations of favorite books, films, television shows, and podcasts, covering everything from alternate history to zoology.
This year\u27s booklet marks the 20th anniversary of the YGRT publication with a special puzzle section celebrating two decades of reading recommendations.https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/summerreads/1020/thumbnail.jp

Change Happens Here
Full text linkThe posters in this series focus on parts of the Gettysburg College story that have been minimized or neglected altogether in previous histories – particularly with respect to underrepresented groups, issues, and activisms. Based on sometimes incomplete sources, they represent imperfect knowledge and are not comprehensive. They are a beginning, not an ending.
For that reason, we invite your feedback – corrections, additional information, people and events not pictured. We also invite contributions of relevant documents, photos, etc. to the College Archives, or via our digital repository, “What We Did Here: Activism at Gettysburg College.”
The story of change at Gettysburg is being written every day. You can help write it!
Poster 1 - Student Activism: The Students - Many student activists have sought to educate their peers about ideas and issues outside the College bubble. They’ve done this with intercollegiate exchanges, alternative curricula, statements of racial pride, ambitious events like Symposium 70, and shared teachings and learnings like the Student Solidarity Rally.
Poster 2 - Student Activism: The College - Since the 1960s, a common focus of campus protest has been the campus itself. Students have united to oppose unjust policies, condemn racism within the College, and show support for targeted populations.
Poster 3 - Student Activism: The Nation and the World - In every era, Gettysburg students have engaged with the largest, most controversial issues nationally and internationally – from the Vietnam War to the Gulf War, LGBTQA rights to gun control, racist violence to climate change.
Poster 4 - Student Groups - Organizations united by shared identities, experiences, and values have long been a vital part of life at Gettysburg. Through them, students have built communities of their own while keeping the campus alive to issues that impact everyone.
Poster 5 - Women at Gettysburg - From 1885, when Beulah Tipton became the College’s first female matriculant, to the feminist activists of today, strong women have thrived at Gettysburg.https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/libexhibits/1007/thumbnail.jp

Pohanka Reflection: Special Collections & Archives, Musselman Library, Gettysburg College
Full text linkThe reading room of Gettysburg College’s Special Collections is one of those singular spaces where the denizens of academe encounter the uninitiated yet insatiably curious members of that nebulous group known as the public. Indeed, many summer afternoons on the fourth floor of Musselman Library witness researchers diligently pouring over primary source material and rare books while intrigued visitors study the numerous displays of artifacts with equal dedication. While my duties in Special Collections are mostly confined to working with the collections themselves, I have upon occasion received the opportunity to observe our visitors as they interact with the history that is on display.
