As Colleen captured, I was looking forward to presenting at my first #sharp2025 but I didn’t anticipate the serendipitous topic overlaps and the q&a that turned into a delightful discussion group!
Hello everyone! I am attending #sharp2025 and I have permission to tweet the first panels today. Up first is Anastasia Armendariz who is presenting about Rare Care: Prioritizing the Personal in Rare Books & Special Collections. If I tweet, it will be in a thread here.

A wearying time to be an Angeleno, a woman in the US, a human. Was resenting an early Saturday wake-up for an event, and yet. Latinx and Chicanx alumni finding themselves and their siblings in photos. Elders grateful for the preservation of the heritage. Homegrown citrus. Now a bright morning.

Was looking for slices of good-lumpia, free beverages, and a few book purchases including Peg Bracken’s follow-up to her 1960 work (which I found at a half price books few years back) with a pal made for a lovely Friday eve at a local bookshop fête.

From our 1989-1990 Special Collections report: “The Department’s principal concerns focus on (1) space (already inadequate for both its collections and its staff); (2) money (its book fund allocation is inadequate); and (3) staff (with additional support needed especially to aid in ms. processing)🫠

A selection of UFW materials we shared during a pop-up prior to the on-campus screening of ‘A Song for Cesar’ last night. Lovely to table next to current student work all while alumni reminisced about campus life, activism, and their own work in the fields.
