Documenting Dogs in the Archives
Description - Lead Paragraph

“ Roger Caras, an animal welfare activist, said in 1993 that "some of our greatest historical and artistic treasures we place with curators in museums; others we take for walks." The archival items in The Canine Chronicles exhibit provide a glimpse into how people's lives have been impacted by dogs over the past few centuries.”

Description - Details

The relationship between humans and dogs spans thousands of years. The Bonn–Oberkassel dog, which is the first archeological evidence of the domestication of dogs, is 15,000 years old. Since then, dogs have made their way into every aspect of our lives. Dogs are so many things to humans - they are our best friends, our family. They offer companionship and protection. Dogs pop up throughout Rose Library’s archival collections and rare books. In some cases (like the Robert Winship Woodruff papers) pups take center stage with plenty of documentation about their birth, lives, and deaths. More commonly, though, dogs can be found in the margins. They are present in family photos or anecdotally mentioned in a letter. Despite being on the archival sidelines, dogs are an integral part of many people’s lives.

A Journey through literature for Children

Children's literature emerged in the late 18th century and expanded as a diverse and distinct category intended to entertain and instruct young people.

Pages of Wonder: A Journey through Literature for Children, explores how young children imagine, learn, and grow through the books they read. Children's literature emerged in the late 18th century and expanded as a diverse and distinct category intended to entertain and instruct young people. This literary genre not only encompasses fairy tales and picture books, but also extends to more whimsical designs such as puzzles and pop-up-books. In the 20th century, children’s literature has broadened and timeless classics like Alice in Wonderland and Robinson Crusoe have given way to popular film adaptations like Harry Potter and The Hate U Give, capturing the hearts of children and adults alike.
