This year, the AGSL is taking Earth Day back to its roots. Enjoy these photographs taken by Harrison Foreman of New Yorkers celebrating the first Earth Day on Fifth Avenue in 1970!

According to legend, April 21, 753 BCE marks the founding of Rome by demi-god brothers Remus and Romulus. Check out these beautiful photos of Rome from our digital collection! All photos were taken by Harrison Forman ca. 1966.

It’s #PhotoFriday ! Today we welcome spring flowers with this image of a flower vendor on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, taken by Harrison Forman in the 1950s.

We have reached the final day of #414forUWM week. The last item we want to share with you all is this rare book covering the devastating 1746 earthquake in Lim, Peru. This important source of history is missing its cover and crumbling away. Help us preserve this book for future generations!

Thank you all for following along with #414forUWM week! It’s not too late to sneak in a last-minute donation if you’d like to help preserve one-of-a-kind items in the AGSL's collections, like this statistical atlas of Egypt whose binding is all too visible!

We are back with another damaged map for #414forUWM week. This humongous wall map of Europe is blessed with beautiful colors... but cursed with fraying edges and serious tears.

We’re on Facebook!
