<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We want to share with you three IAP sessions to be held on three successive Fridays in January in the IASC reading room 14N-118. These presentations will show you some of the archival records, publications
and special collections that you can use in your work as MIT communicators and storytellers. We hope you will join us!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">One of the interesting things about archival records is that it’s not just about “famous” people. Materials in the IASC are original and unique and can give voice to many stories or pieces of stories. This
session is informal and hands on– we’ll have a variety of examples for you to look at, examine, and listen to so you can “meet” people who were at MIT before you. Your story could be here in the future. Come and see what we have. --<i>Liz Andrews, Myles Crowley,
Nora Murphy</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This year the IASC and the Lewis Music Library have added some very cool things to their special collections. Lewis Music has acquired a 15th century chant book that's got to be the biggest volume you've ever
seen. For balance, they've acquired a teeny tiny miniature book to go with it. The Archives has some "new" acquisitions too: want to see a 4,000 year old cuneiform tablet? How about a second-folio copy of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar from 1632? If you prefer
something more recent, we'll have a mid-20th century lab notebook from a founding member of the Center for Cancer Research. Come get an up-close look at these treasures and several others. Drop in between 10 and 11 am. --<i>Stephen Skuce</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
