Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections.

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p>Credits: This exhibition is curated by Kallie Comardelle, doctoral student from the Department of English, and Dhazhea Freeman, graduate student from the Department of Africana Studies, with support from Hillary Kativa, associate librarian and department head, Special Collections. Comardelle and Freeman’s curatorial work was supported by a grant from Delaware 250.</p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

Against a backdrop of limited rights and opportunities for Black Americans, this exhibition examines how churches and schools fueled the formation and development of Delaware’s free Black communities in the years leading up to and following the American Civil War.  </p>

<p>Through photographs, books, pamphlets and event programs, visitors will explore the rich and dynamic history of the Black church as a foundational educational institution, as well as the remarkable influence and activism of Black women working to expand educational opportunities, often in partnership with the independent Black church. Recognizing that 1776 is the beginning, not the end, of our American story, we invite you to discover how African Americans in Delaware built community, promoted education and thrived at the turn of the century in their ongoing pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </p>

<p>Lifting As We Climb is on view from February 2 through August 7, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>NFO aims to provide new faculty with an understanding of the UD academic environment, connecting them to resources and support services, and preparing them for teaching and interacting with students. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This event is supported by a comprehensive course site on Canvas, UD’s Learning Management System. When faculty are hired, they will be provided access to the New Faculty Orientation Canvas site for their first year at UD.  Additional workshops for New Faculty are available throughout the academic year through programming at the university, college, and unit level.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>August Wilson's HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Co-Conceived by Todd Kreidler</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

He currently teaches classes on business law and ethics in a department ranked by the Wall Street Journal and Business Week in the top ten nationwide for producing students with high ethical standards.</p>

<p>Corey’s most popular keynote on ethics encourages audiences to chase the truly important things in life such as a solid character, strong personal relationships and a sense of contentment. These “real rabbits” are compared and contrasted to more fleeting worldly success such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Audience members leave with a better sense of what it takes to develop integrity, set priorities, gain a big-picture perspective, and chase an authentic life. By the end, Corey promises that this will be one of the most powerful and motivational speeches you ever hear.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>Winterthur Museum, Garden &amp; Library and the University of Delaware</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Fall 2026 marks the 150th birthday of Marian Coffin (September 16, 1876 - January 2, 1957), the pioneering woman of landscape architecture who designed the landscapes of the UD Green, the gardens of Gibraltar, Winterthur, and Mt. Cuba, and many others in the Delaware Valley and beyond. </p>

<p>This also marks the 10-year anniversary of the launch of the UD Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.</p>

<p>To celebrate these milestones, the UD Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program has teamed up with Preservation Delaware, the non-profit that oversees the Coffin Garden at Gibraltar, the Winterthur Museum, House, and Gardens, and Mt Cuba Center, to develop a two-day symposium bringing awareness to the remarkable achievements of Coffin, and her influence on landscapes and relevance of the field of landscape architecture and historic garden and landscape preservation today.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

See website for details.</title><description><![CDATA[<p>September 24–25, 2026
<br>Winterthur Museum, Garden &amp; Library and the University of Delaware</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Fall 2026 marks the 150th birthday of Marian Coffin (September 16, 1876 - January 2, 1957), the pioneering woman of landscape architecture who designed the landscapes of the UD Green, the gardens of Gibraltar, Winterthur, and Mt. Cuba, and many others in the Delaware Valley and beyond. </p>

<p>This also marks the 10-year anniversary of the launch of the UD Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.</p>

<p>To celebrate these milestones, the UD Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program has teamed up with Preservation Delaware, the non-profit that oversees the Coffin Garden at Gibraltar, the Winterthur Museum, House, and Gardens, and Mt Cuba Center, to develop a two-day symposium bringing awareness to the remarkable achievements of Coffin, and her influence on landscapes and relevance of the field of landscape architecture and historic garden and landscape preservation today.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations.

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky).

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Matthew Barber</p>

<p>From the novel Eleanor and Abel by Annette Sanford</p>

<p> </p>

<p>A warm and heartfelt romantic comedy about second chances, Fireflies follows a retired teacher whose quiet life is transformed by the arrival of a mysterious drifter in her small Texas town. Based on a celebrated novel and filled with humor, heart, and moments of surprising grace, Fireflies is a tender reminder that it’s never too late to rediscover joy, companionship, and the courage to let yourself be seen.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p>Grab your lunch and join us virtually from 12:00 - 1:30 PM for a behind-the-scenes look at Delaware's Derelict Crab Pot Removal Program! We'll explore how this volunteer-driven effort got its start, what we've accomplished together, and how the program has evolved through innovative technology. Learn how side-scan sonar, mobile mapping units, and GhostVision—an open-source software that automatically detects derelict crab pots from sonar imagery—are helping to locate and remove marine debris locally and abroad more efficiently than ever before.</p>

<p>Hosted by Delaware Sea Grant, this webinar will feature Brittany Haywood (Delaware Sea Grant), Dr. Art Trembanis and Dr. Cameron Bodine (University of Delaware), who will share their experiences leading this collaborative effort and discuss how volunteers and technology are working together to protect our coastal waters.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p>FIREFLIES</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Matthew Barber</p>

<p>From the novel Eleanor and Abel by Annette Sanford</p>

<p> </p>

<p>A warm and heartfelt romantic comedy about second chances, Fireflies follows a retired teacher whose quiet life is transformed by the arrival of a mysterious drifter in her small Texas town. Based on a celebrated novel and filled with humor, heart, and moments of surprising grace, Fireflies is a tender reminder that it’s never too late to rediscover joy, companionship, and the courage to let yourself be seen.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p>FIREFLIES</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Matthew Barber</p>

<p>From the novel Eleanor and Abel by Annette Sanford</p>

<p> </p>

<p>A warm and heartfelt romantic comedy about second chances, Fireflies follows a retired teacher whose quiet life is transformed by the arrival of a mysterious drifter in her small Texas town. Based on a celebrated novel and filled with humor, heart, and moments of surprising grace, Fireflies is a tender reminder that it’s never too late to rediscover joy, companionship, and the courage to let yourself be seen.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<br>An artistic composition made by affixing materials such as paper, fabric, or wood onto a surface.</p>

<p>2. assemblage (noun) \ ə-ˈsem-blij \
<br>An artistic composition, often three-dimensional, created by combining found objects and disparate materials such as metal, paper, or stone.</p>

<p>3. mixed media (noun) \ ˈmikst ˈmē-dē-ə \</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An approach to artmaking that combines two or more artistic methods, including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, or photography, within a single work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media–an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition and transformation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>On view are compositions that bring together found objects and repurposed imagery with hand-rendered marks, creating layered works that engage questions of authorship, memory and meaning. These visual exchanges between the handmade and the sourced invite close looking and reflection on how artists construct new narratives from existing materials. </p>

<p>The installation includes works long used in teaching, including those by David Driskell and Sam Gilliam, alongside works not exhibited in recent years. It also introduces recent acquisitions, including collages by Phoebe Beasley, John Digby, and Theodore A. Harris, and an assemblage by Carol Cole. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Intended for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public, Assembled supports critical inquiry while emphasizing the continued relevance of experimental practices in modern and contemporary art.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

It comprises the majority of sand beaches in the world due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. It also forms crystals which can be very large. Although often transparent or white, other color varieties include amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow-orange) and gray or black (smoky). This exhibition includes recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples, and a “mystery” crystal given by Quaesita Drake, a chemistry professor, for whom Drake Hall is named.</p>

These supernatural figures, who have appeared in narratives across the dispersion of people whose homeland is Africa or the diaspora, are often understood as a reflection of a longing to return “home.” In these instances, home can be many places: ancestral lands, the afterlife, or some fictional space associated with the possibility of freedom. In some contexts, the flying African is seen as a spiritual or religious icon, while in others they find ways to fight injustice through their flight. This exhibition borrows Hamilton’s language in an effort to explore connections between African diasporic spiritual and religious practices and a collective desire for liberation.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Exploring a range of visual and material culture, The People Could Fly surveys art that represents American, Caribbean, and African spiritual traditions while simultaneously intertwining themes of Black liberty across time and space. Together, these works understand the multifaceted range of Black religious traditions as journeys to a present or eventual spiritual home where a shared freedom can be enjoyed. Exploring the impact of these cultural phenomena, this exhibition will traverse an expansive range of traditions, including indigenous African spirituality, Voodoo, Islam, and Christianity. Ultimately, these works not only honor the multifaceted nature of Black religions, but also showcase a shared belief in the unalienable rights of Black life.</p>

The Vibrant World of Lead Minerals invites you to explore the unexpected beauty of lead-based minerals—brilliant, colorful and captivating specimens that defy the element’s ordinary reputation. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>From vibrant mimetite to sparkling galena, lead plays a surprising role in the formation of eye-catching minerals. Even in everyday objects, its influence is seen—like in leaded glass, or crystal, which owes its signature sparkle and weight to the presence of lead. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This exhibition showcases an array of stunning lead minerals from around the globe, including specimens from Australia, Namibia, Morocco and the United States.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A highlight of the collection is a remarkable bright yellow mimetite from Mexico, sourced from the long-shuttered Congresso Mine. In 1968, mineral dealer Benny Fenn descended 900 feet into the abandoned site and discovered a hidden chamber, 40 by 20 feet, lined with vivid yellow crystals. After months of careful extraction, the mimetite specimens debuted at mineral shows by the hundreds—today, they are prized rarities. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join us this fall at the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall for a dazzling journey through the hidden brilliance of lead minerals!</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Far beyond Illinois, the famed “Land of Lincoln,” statues and memorials to the sixteenth president pepper the nation’s landscape. Long before Lincoln's birthday was a federal holiday, local groups and clubs held festive dinners every February to mark his birth and celebrate his contributions to the nation. From log cabins and law offices to taverns and courthouses, buildings associated with Lincoln have been branded with historical markers and turned into sites of heritage tourism. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Hallowed Grounds draws from the Lincoln Club of Delaware’s Abraham Lincoln Collection in Special Collections to explore how and why Lincoln is honored and remembered across generations. Through books, event programs, menus, maps and ephemera, visitors are invited to explore the many shrines and tributes to Lincoln across our land and reflect on the unique place he holds in American memory. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hallowed Grounds is on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Lincoln Exhibition Case, which is located outside the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The exhibition is free and open to the public during the Library’s regular hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

Over the past century, it has been shaped by legal challenges, shifting cultural norms, and ongoing disagreements in both educational and religious spaces about what, how, and whether it should be taught in schools. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? The History and Future of Sex Education in the United States explores this complex history through a wide range of materials spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition brings together school curricula, legal documents addressing the implementation of sex education in public schools, as well as advice books aimed at both parents and adolescents. These materials reveal how public understanding of sex education has evolved over time and how deeply it has been influenced by changing social attitudes, policy decisions, and cultural expectations. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By presenting these items side by side, the exhibition invites visitors to consider not only how sex education has changed, but also the persistent gaps that remain. It encourages reflection on questions of access, inclusion, identity, and ability, and asks us to think critically about what equitable and comprehensive sex education could look like in the future. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Where Do We Go From Here? will be on view from August 25 through December 18, 2026, in the Morris Library Information Room at the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.</p>

<p>SLOW FOOD</p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Wendy MacLeod</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An Anniversary dinner spirals delightfully out of control. What begins as a simple night out soon becomes a hilariously complicated and nearly existential exploration of marriage, intimacy, and the things we crave most – including the food we ordered that man never arrive!  Both uproariously funny and surprisingly tender, Slow Food serves up comedy with real emotional bite.</p>

<p>SLOW FOOD</p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Wendy MacLeod</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An Anniversary dinner spirals delightfully out of control. What begins as a simple night out soon becomes a hilariously complicated and nearly existential exploration of marriage, intimacy, and the things we crave most – including the food we ordered that man never arrive!  Both uproariously funny and surprisingly tender, Slow Food serves up comedy with real emotional bite.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way.

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p>The exhibition is on view August 25, 2026 - May 28, 2027 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.</p>

<p>SLOW FOOD</p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Wendy MacLeod</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An Anniversary dinner spirals delightfully out of control. What begins as a simple night out soon becomes a hilariously complicated and nearly existential exploration of marriage, intimacy, and the things we crave most – including the food we ordered that man never arrive!  Both uproariously funny and surprisingly tender, Slow Food serves up comedy with real emotional bite.</p>

<p>An Anniversary dinner spirals delightfully out of control. What begins as a simple night out soon becomes a hilariously complicated and nearly existential exploration of marriage, intimacy, and the things we crave most – including the food we ordered that man never arrive!

<p>SLOW FOOD</p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Wendy MacLeod</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An Anniversary dinner spirals delightfully out of control.

<p>SLOW FOOD</p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Wendy MacLeod</p>

<p> </p>

<p>An Anniversary dinner spirals delightfully out of control. What begins as a simple night out soon becomes a hilariously complicated and nearly existential exploration of marriage, intimacy, and the things we crave most – including the food we ordered that man never arrive!  Both uproariously funny and surprisingly tender, Slow Food serves up comedy with real emotional bite.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way.

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story.

<p> </p>

<p>By Steven Dietz
<br>Based on the original play by Patrick Hamilton</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In this riveting and revitalized new adaptation of the classic thriller, Bella Manningham finds herself trapped in a web of confusion and intrigue… Is she truly losing her mind? Or is she the victim of a scheming husband determined to make her think she is?  A gripping psychological thriller where manipulation, deception, and dimming gaslights blur the line between truth and madness.</p>

<p>GASLIGHT</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Steven Dietz
<br>Based on the original play by Patrick Hamilton</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In this riveting and revitalized new adaptation of the classic thriller, Bella Manningham finds herself trapped in a web of confusion and intrigue… Is she truly losing her mind?

<p>GASLIGHT</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>By Steven Dietz
<br>Based on the original play by Patrick Hamilton</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In this riveting and revitalized new adaptation of the classic thriller, Bella Manningham finds herself trapped in a web of confusion and intrigue… Is she truly losing her mind? Or is she the victim of a scheming husband determined to make her think she is?  A gripping psychological thriller where manipulation, deception, and dimming gaslights blur the line between truth and madness.</p>

Our expert staff work closely with these materials on a daily basis–acquiring new items, describing and preparing collections for use, and coordinating instruction sessions and research visits. While hundreds of visitors engage with Special Collections each year, the staff who care for these materials often form personal connections to the items they encounter along the way. What sparks their curiosity? What memories, emotions or reflections emerge while processing a collection or handling an object?  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>In Personal Lives: Staff Selections from Special Collections, visitors are invited to explore collection materials chosen by individual staff members that highlight a personal connection, interest or story. From new acquisitions to old favorites, the items on view offer a window into the people behind Special Collections and the meaning they make from the collections in their care. </p>
