Library News

The staff of the Archives and Special Collections are pleased to share four collections of institutional records that are now available for research, illuminating histories of the College’s governance, policies, student support, diversity and inclusion efforts, health services, and labor relations.

Barnard Zine Library and Barnard Archives staff were invited to give an introduction to our collections, programs, and philosophies by the Archivists Round Table (ART) of New York.

2023-2024 Barnard Library Research Award recipient Chris Belcher reflects on her work in the Barnard Archives exploring the infamous 1982 Sex Conference.  

We have two new student zine librarians as of fall 2024: Zoë Benavidez BC '27 and Olivia Callanan BC '28. They join existing staff Claudia Acosta, Nayla Delgado BC '24, Zoe Foshee BC '27, Jenna Freedman, and Alex Owens BC '26 along with freelancer catalogers Jade Levine BC '19/Julia Lubey BC '18, and Rhonda Yen Kauffman.

Every month we highlight a different theme that can be studied or enjoyed using our zine library. This month's WGaZfT is tea. With the NYC weather changing (along with the global climate), some of us are switching from iced to hot tea for the winter.

New collection available for researchers interested in Village Voice history, feminist film criticism, and late 20th century New York City writers circles
