Location:: Special Collections
Location:: McHenry Library

On Monday, 10/6, Special Collections and Archives is bringing our BookBeetle (a mini replica Gutenberg-era common press) into the 3rd floor hallway for a printing party!

Participants will:
✔️ learn the mechanics of early printing in the West
✔️ decorate the cover of a notebook that's yours to take home!

Very casual; just drop by! It takes less than a minute, and trust us--it's fun!

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
