Dive into the captivating world of scrapbooks and photograph albums housed within Special Collections at the University of Miami Libraries. Discover how individuals and families have used photographs, captions, found objects, and ephemera to creatively weave their personal narratives. Through the lens of primary source literacy and visual rhetorical analysis, viewers will learn how to interpret these personal artworks and uncover the stories they tell.
Join Special Collections Librarian Robin Potter online for an exclusive showcase of these unique treasures, as she explores the fascinating concept of “visual commonplacing” and describes how it serves as a powerful mode of self-expression, bridging meanings across time.
