Lehigh University and the Moravian Archives received a CLIR Cataloging Hidden Special Collections grant to enhance scholarly access to the Archives' collections. This collaborative project catalogs books, manuscripts, and architectural drawings that document the material culture, religious values & cultural diversity of the Moravian community of Bethlehem between 1740-1855. This blog records our student catalogers' experience as they worked with and discovered this Hidden Collection

Small Finds
During my dissertation days, I had a friend, who was conducting research in the National Archives on 1930s Public Housing. She read through lots of government documents held together by a variety of fasteners. She commented once that someone should research the evolution of paper clips, staples, and the like. I found this doozy at Moravian. It took a nail file to remove, and we did so without damaging the document.
