Penn Library’s Nick Okrent posted a wonderful article, Diversity in the Stacks: Juneteenth, where he speaks of the history of Juneteenth and provides resources on oral histories, African American newspapers, and more. Juneteenth remains unfamiliar to many outside the African American community, but within it Juneteenth has long been a source of joy, memory, and solidarity. And recognition is growing: University of Pennsylvania has designated June 19, 2020 as a day for the P...enn community ‘to reflect on what we can do individually and collectively to dismantle systemic and structural barriers to equality.’ Read the article here: https://www.library.upenn.edu//libraries-news/diversity-st #diversityinthestacks #upenn #upennlibraries #juneteenth #justiceforall @upennlib @pennmuseumlibrary @uofpenn

We’ve been hard at work on a research guide for the ENTIRE United States! We’re calling this MEGA GUIDE! Introducing our MEGA Guide on Archaeology in the United States! Our primary goal for this research guide was to provide our patrons with an easy way to access gray literature, industry professionals, and archaeological information across the United States. We also wanted to highlight best practices for working with the land and indigenous stewards. In the State Dire...ctory, you’ll find individual State guides (in bold) and links to helpful sources for other states. #upenn #pennlibraries #archaeology #usarchaeology #pennmuseumlibrary #pennmuseum @upennlib @pennmuseum @pennsas @pennanthropology @uofpenn Access our MEGA guide here: https://guides.library.upenn.edu/US_archaeology
