Overhead projectors? Oh sure! You don't see them much, but we have one somewhere at the marine station.

I'm really proud that as I mentally ran through candidates of things to take home, most of what came to mind are things we've already scanned & uploaded to Stanford Digital Repository - no action needed. Humbled that I didn't have a grab-list already composed, so I'm working on that now. 🤔 /end

Last but not least, I grabbed the scrapbooks that document the history of @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social. Only the first album has been scanned & this is now at the top of my digitization list. Totally irreplaceable. 4/

This beauty is one of a kind, and even though it's been scanned, I'd be heartbroken if it was reclaimed by the sea. It's an album, "Marine algae of New England coast," created by collector Grace A, Hall in 1895. Please go admire the photos. searchworks.stanford.edu/view/13786250 3/

What I just call "Postels" is an 1840 folio in Russian & Latin that has etchings of marine algae from Russian surveys of the North American west coast in the late 1820s. Not SUPER rare, but rare enough. I love it, so I took it. cc. @gworthey.bsky.social See: searchworks.stanford.edu/view/2225739 2/
