This special episode of Staxpeditions teams us up with Matt Keegan and Tom Gilchrist from the Iowa Digital Engagement and Learning project on campus (IDEAL) which has been creating curriculum called Archives Alive getting students transcribing documents in DIY History and making videos about their research.

The team stopped by to plan for future curriculum transcribing historic cooking pamphlets in the Szathmary Culinary Collection.

And WHAT a recipe they managed to find:

Sex and Sirloin lovingly cut out and pasted into another 1970s pamphlet:

It&#8217;s been a while since we have gotten a video out to you due to how much our schedules change over the summer in an academic institution.  But Staxpeditions are still in the works!  
Here&#8217;s a hint for a video we&#8217;re editing behind the scenes right now:
While in Las Vegas for the American Library Association conference some of the UISpecColl team met with Rebecca Romney at Bauman Rare Books (Rebecca is called up when they need help with rare book appraisals on the TV show &#8220;Pawn Stars.&#8221;)

It’s been a while since we have gotten a video out to you due to how much our schedules change over the summer in an academic institution.  But Staxpeditions are still in the works!  

Here’s a hint for a video we’re editing behind the scenes right now:

While in Las Vegas for the American Library Association conference some of the UISpecColl team met with Rebecca Romney at Bauman Rare Books (Rebecca is called up when they need help with rare book appraisals on the TV show “Pawn Stars.”)

New Video!  Peter Balestrieri, Patrick Olson and Colleen Theisen have a surreal Staxpedition as chronicpnin sends them to NX440-NX632!  

In Library of Congress classification that is:

N: Fine Arts

NX: The Arts in General

NX440-632: History of the Arts

For UISpecColl collections that section has a lot of Dada and Surrealism.

The book from our latest Staxpeditions pretty much stumped our panel!  And the catalog record did not add much. The book is titled:

Papel en derecho. Respuesta al manifiesto, que entregaron à los señores del Consejo los diputados de los individuos, llamados de la Calle, que habitan en la isla de Mallorca, en satisfaccion de lo que respectivamente se opuso por la ciudad, Cabildo eclesiastico, y Universidad de la ciudad de Palma, capital de aquella isla. A fin de que no se conceda a los descendientes de judíos la igualdad que solicitan con los hombres buenos del estado general del reyno de Mallorca.  [Madrid, 1778]

HOWEVER!  In the comments for the video, we found out that our follower who requested the book could read a lot of it just from the shots in the video, and he connected the book to another researcher that would be interested in this book!

Heart=Warmed.  That’s why we do this!  

I hope you have been having some fun watching our Staxpeditions.  If you want to send us on a mission, please leave a call number or call number range in the comments on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or here on Tumblr and we would be happy to go exploring for you!
