The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.

Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.

The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.

Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.

Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.

Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, Sept. 13<span class="lw_date_year">, 2023</span>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/212439-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability

Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s On the Same Page program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal.

This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records.

The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.

EXHIBIT: A Storied Campus: Cal in Fiction, Oct. 24<span class="lw_date_year">, 2023</span>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/222912-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction

Mention of the name University of California, Berkeley, evokes a range of images: a celebrated institution, a seat of innovation, protests and activism, iconic architecture, colorful traditions, and … literary muse? The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales. This exhibition highlights examples of these portrayals through book covers, excerpts, illustrations, photographs, and other materials largely selected from the University Archives and general collections of The Bancroft Library.

Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, Jan. 10https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/236418-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art

Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper. This exhibit highlights some of those books and salient examples related to the construction of pop-up books and origami design. Also included are finished works using pop-up folding and cutting techniques.

This small, fun, exhibit – appropriate for children and creative-aspiring adults – will hopefully leave you thinking, “I can do that!”

The Environmental Design Library’s pop-up book collection was started to entertain the children of our students who needed a quiet moment in the library, and has since grown to more than 60 volumes. In addition to the pop-up books on display, another 40 volumes are available for interactive exploration.

For additional inspiration, check out the exhibit’s Reading List.

EXHIBIT: Voices for the Environment: A Century of Bay Area Activism, March 18https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/210974-exhibit-voices-for-the-environment-a-century-of

Curated by the Oral History Center, Voices for the Environment: A Century of Bay Area Activism charts the evolution of environmental movements in the region through the recorded voices of the activists who shaped them. From tensions over preservation after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to demands to address the disproportionate burdens of pollution and illness that some communities faced, environmentalism has long been part of the fabric of the Bay Area.

Smartphones and headphones are suggested.

Digitizing Portugal’s Largest Private Library, April 16https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/243320-digitizing-portugals-largest-private-library

Political commentator, historian, politician, and bibliophile José Pacheco Pereira will present on EPHEMERA, the digital platform for his personal library and archive. It is the largest private collection in Portugal and is comprised of books, periodicals, manuscripts, pamphlets, photos, posters, and other objects. Begun as a clandestine collection of political activity prior to the collapse of the dictatorship on the 25th of April, 1974, its aim is to safeguard a memory at risk of being lost, and to be instrumental in the political activity of progressive organizations and movements. Today, the scope has evolved and it is considered a generalist and international collection with a strong specialized component in contemporary political history.

Supporting an Open Source Software Journal: Strategies for Effective Editing and Engagement, April 23https://berkeley.libcal.com/event/12224121Zoom information registration
This month the Bay Area Open Science Group will be joined by Kelly L. Rowland. Kelly will discuss her experiences as editor for JOSS, a journal dedicated to publishing articles about open source research software across domains. JOSS’ scope includes software that solves complex modeling problems in a scientific context, supports the functioning of research instruments or the execution of research experiments, or extracts knowledge from large data sets. Kelly is a Computer Systems Engineer in the User Engagement Group at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), a division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Before joining NERSC, she obtained her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in Nuclear Engineering with a Designated Emphasis on Computational Science and Engineering. Kelly has been an editor for the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) since 2021.
Bay Area Open Science Group
The Bay Area Open Science Group is a growing community for Bay Area academics and researchers interested in incorporating open science into their research, teaching, and learning. Targeting students, faculty, and staff at UCSF, Berkeley, and Stanford, the goal of the community is to increase awareness of and engagement with all things open science, including open access articles, open research data, open source software, and open educational resources. Through this work the group hopes to connect researchers with tools they can use to make the products and process of science more equitable and reproducible.
Meetings:
We meet on the 4th Tuesday of the month, 2 - 3 PM Pacific on Zoom.
