I am an art librarian at Cornell University with a range of interests, and a special focus on the history of photography, especially early photography, typography, letter and book arts, and textiles. I have created and maintain [http://guides.library.cornell.edu/arthistory this guide] to resources and strategies for research in art history for the Cornell community.

I am an avid participant in the annual [http://www.artandfeminism.org Wikipedia: Art + Feminism edit-a-thon], and one of the hosts for the [http://guides.library.cornell.edu/artandfeminism Ithaca, NY event].

I helped organize and participated in the editWikipedia4BlackLives edit-a-thon in June 2020.

Union Pearl is the name of a typeface—the first display typeface produced in England, ca. 1708. More about that [http://unionpurl.blogspot.com/2010/11/u-is-for-union-pearl.html here]. Someday, I'll write an article about it myself, if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Well illustrated in this reprint of John Smith's Printer's Grammar, published in 1787 by T. Evans:
