Oh my! We almost missed National Cat Day. If we had, you would have needed to wait a whole year to see these pics of cats wearing top hats! The cats don't look too happy, but we think they are cute. From the James B. and John J. McNamara papers. @UCLibraries #catswithhats

The most asked question from our tabling at Langsam Library has been why were freshwomen not allowed to hold seances in the basement window-seats??? Rule 15 from the 1914 freshwomen rules as published in the University Record newspaper. @UCLibraries

Our colleagues at the @UC_CECH Library have a wonderful collection of educational materials and @UC_CEAS Library has a new board game collection, but we may have to issue a "we got game(s) too" challenge.

Those familiar with Cincinnati history have likely heard stories of efforts to build a subway here. The project was never completed, so this might be the only image of someone trying to board the Cincinnati subway! @UCLibraries #OhioArchivesMonth @ohioarchivists #Transportation
