You never know what you’ll find at @dukeuarchives While doing some research for a future story today, we came across @DukeU’s total squirrel-related expenditures for 1927.
FYI, Duke spent $2.50 on the labor for building cages.

This #ArchivesHashtagParty, we’re looking back at the Upper Hayti neighborhood of #Durham! This map, drawn by resident Lida V. Moore, represents her memory of Upper Hayti ca. 1900. Much of Hayti, the heart of Black Durham, was destroyed when NC-147 was built. #ArchivesOnMyStreet

Tried a slightly gamified approach to University Archives for the @duke_iss capstone this AM. Here's a 1939 illustrated @DukeU map. The numbered circles sent students to numbered tables with docs that correspond to the map illustration.
Now we need a spinner that goes up to 8.

We visited @dukeuarchives to check out some early plans of West Campus with @dukeu Landscape Architect @mharrisonhough.
Learn how these plans share design lineage with some of the nation’s most iconic landscapes in a future issue of our magazine.
