Collecting and organizing collections may have slowed a little during the pandemic, but that work did not stop altogether. SCRC staff believe we consistently acquire collections with significant research value\u2014they\u2019re all \u2018great\u2019 by definition. These staff picks are purchases and donations from individuals and organizations that represent our collecting strengths, caught our fancy, have already been used for research and instruction\u2014or should provide the \u2018next\u2019 research project for a fortunate user.
