“Making Space” is a new exhibit located in the Hargrett Library gallery in the Special Collections Libraries building. In 1961, Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter became the first Black students to enroll at UGA. Facing down adversity, they succeeded in desegregating the campus and winning a battle in the broader struggle for civil rights. However, the process of integration and building a more inclusive university continues today. The exhibit looks back at the events of desegregation, and also explores the building of more inclusive space on campus in the decades that followed. It highlights how UGA students gathered, lobbied, and protested for acceptance and change. The exhibit will remain on display through July 2nd, 2021. Learn more through the link in our bio! 
When all of the study rooms are full and you have to Zoom outside…⠀ ⠀ But seriously, we recommend staying warm and logging in at the 4th floor study room where talking is allowed. It’s a great Zoom Zone! 
In 2015, Dr. Cynthia Camp used the Special Collections Faculty Fellows Program to launch multi-year courses centered around the medieval manuscripts held by Hargrett Library. The Hargrett Hours Exhibit showcases some of the types of items students have explored in the Hargrett Hours courses and what they discovered about these medieval manuscripts along the way. It showcases Dr. Camp’s innovative teaching techniques, and the hands-on projects that helped bring the 15th century to life for today’s UGA students. ⠀ ⠀ Join Hargrett Library today for a 2 pm virtual panel discussion on the new exhibit. The link to the live panel is on the UGA Special Collections Library Facebook page.⠀ ⠀ Learn more about the exhibit and exhibit hours through the link in our bio! @hargrettlibrary
