The 2016-17
Innovation Grant is awarded to Callie Coward, Erica Rau and Carolyn Shankle for
"Vintage Viands and the Roaring ‘20s."
Vintage
Viands offers opportunities for students, staff, and the local community to
sample foods from an earlier era, and reflect on how taste and ingredients
change over time. The event, connected through the Home Economics Pamphlets
Collection and the Home Economics and Household Collection, offers attendees an
online or physical exhibit. Vintage Viands gathers student attention, creating a
memorable experience that places University Libraries in a favorable position.
Looking
long-term, the event serves as a template for creating accessibility of hidden
or limited-use collections to wider audiences; individuals can still enjoy the
event, regardless if the collection is for personal use, research, and/or
curriculum development.
We’re also
hoping this project can spearhead a LSTA grant. With the grant, we’d like to
modify the Vintage Viands format and create curriculum guides for schools across
all education levels in the future.
