The Harvard University, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Schlesinger Library Renovation

The Harvard University, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library Renovation by Kennedy & Violich Architecture (2019).
Record by Meral Ekincioglu, Ph.D. (with permission).
" The Schlesinger Library is renowned for being a leading archival research library for the history of American women. It recently acquired the papers ofAngela Davis and holds manuscripts from iconic historic figures including Susan B. Anthony and Amelia Earhart. Maintaining the original footprint of the building, the project is fundamentally about a renovation that could manifest new visions for the coexistence of digitally-born and analogue archives, and how a new and more public teaching/learning experience could emerge from that new vision.
