Comment on Through the Eyes of a Collection by rldkridel https://fsuspecialcollections.wordpress.com/2015/10/15/through-the-eyes-of-a-collection/comment-page-1/#comment-19066 Sat, 04 Apr 2020 18:20:39 +0000 http://fsuspecialcollections.wordpress.com/?p=4135#comment-19066 I worked for Dr. Hoffer as his research assistant from 1998-1990. His collection was exactly as you described! It was in the garage of his house and was shelves of boxes, table tops of boxes, and piles upon piles of unprocessed publications. I had no idea what I was doing, because there was so much and the logic of its organization was apparent only to him. But I did it; I looked through all kinds of publications and found articles that had anything to do with communications, cut them out, and tried to file them as best as I could. I suspect that when his archives came to you, they were the work of many more students just like me; smart enough to catch his attention as a suitable assistant, but not being privy to the workings of his mind, at a loss as to how to bring order to the behemoth. Regardless, Dr. Hoffer was a brilliant, kind, and generous man and a privilege to work for.

Good morning Zigi. We don’t keep track of such information generally about our collections. However, if you are interested in getting something appraised like this item, visit the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America website to find a professional appraiser.

I am now 64, never knowing the history of the Highwaymen or their African American heritage. Thank you for the enlightenment.

Comment on School Spirits: Ghosts at Florida State by MC https://fsuspecialcollections.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/school-spirits-ghosts-at-florida-state/comment-page-1/#comment-2402 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 20:18:13 +0000 http://fsuspecialcollections.wordpress.com/?p=4186#comment-2402 Interesting to hear all of this, as I lived in Cawthon Hall 1990-91. At that time, it was exclusively a co-ed Transfer Student Dorm. I lived on the 4th floor south-side “men’s-wing”, often referred to as the “5th” floor, but this was not the case, 4th was the highest level short of being on the roof. A 5th floor is a misnomer, as per the buttons on the elevator. When you entered the dorm from the Landis Green side, due to the hill the Dorm was built into, you were at street “ground” level, I believe the elevator designated this as the B-level, or basement. The South-side 1st floor were Housing Offices, and the elevator skipped this level altogether, you could only choose from 2nd, 3rd, or 4th floor. During off-business hours, if you were sure the Offices were vacant, you could pull hard enough on the elevator doors to make them open, but I assume there were motion-sensors that would detect if you exited, and risked getting caught walking around (Others attempted it).
The north side “women’s-wing” had their own elevator, and 4 floors. Other than the 1st floor, 2nd-4th had unlocked double-doors separating the wings.
The official “front” of the Dorm faced East, and had multiple entrances at this 1st floor level, where a “common-room” connected the North and South Wings at the main level.
It was in this common-room, full of leather chairs and couches, tables, and fireplace, that I felt if any was the most creepy area of the Dorm. It had that old mansion type of feeling, where if there were vintage portraits on the walls, the eyes of the people in the photos would follow you as you walked by. Often time this was a popular study-area at all hours of the night, especially since we had a curfew for not being in the girls-wing after-hours, but this was a co-ed common area, and was virtually never empty.
I’m sure there were instances late at night where people in this area thought they heard/saw things that weren’t there, and other nooks and crannies throughout the building where a little exploration could lead you to somewhere where you weren’t supposed to be, mostly behind unlocked doors and windows, to possibly stumble upon things you weren’t supposed to see.
