Wow, our 11th birthday! Hi, all, this is John Overholt, curator at Houghton Library, making a possibly unprecedented first-person post to reflect on this milestone.
No one has ever guessed correctly when I ask what our most-followed account on social media is--at more than 64,000 followers, it's the Houghton Library Tumblr, which I started as a way to share the richness of our digitized collections. I was lucky when I started the site that Tumblr itself was very interested in promoting the work of special collections libraries, and helped us reach a wider audience than we could have otherwise.
Obviously Tumblr is a different site in 2024 than it was in 2013, but I'm proud of the record I've built up here over the years and I think our archive of more than 2300 posts makes a great introduction to Houghton's collections and to the amazing things you can find in the world of rare book and manuscript libraries like ours.
