Blog Houghton Library Blog https://blogs.harvard.edu/houghton/ This is the main blog of the Houghton Library at Harvard University that started in 2009. Houghton Library is the repository for Harvard Library's rare books and manuscripts.  Blog posts were initially about interesting materials discovered by library staff during cataloging as well as about collections available for research.   Eventually, the blog became an outlet for staff, student workers, and visiting researchers to share aspects of their work with the collections, whether behind the scenes, in the stacks, or in the reading room.
