Researchers using the Institute’s collections provide new insights into how we manage our holdings. University of Michigan graduate student Jennifer Playstead(pictured above), who recently spent over a week daily exploring our collections for information on the Leisler family household and their involvement in day-to-day politics, is an example. We look forward to learning more as her work progresses.
