Reupholstery Project July 30, 2015 You may have noticed some empty spaces in the Library and asked yourself, wasn’t there a couch here? And a chair over there? Where is all the furniture? In July, the Library sent 30 pieces of furniture to our partners Tangram Interiors in Fresno, CA to be reupholstered and repaired. This is a result of a furniture condition inventory conducted earlier this year. We identified a total of 50 damaged pieces; the remaining 20 pieces are slated for repair next summer. Most of our furniture has been around since the opening of UC Merced. Our custodial team does a wonderful job keeping the furniture looking like new, but after 10 years, some of our pieces were showing their age. Before sending off the furniture, the Library considered the overall impact of purchasing replacement pieces versus the efforts of reupholstery and repair. The furniture will be back in place for the start of the fall semester. |

The Americas Underground: Where our Past and Present Meet in the Dark March 31, 2015 March 31, 2015 The Americas Underground is a new exhibit in the library that explores the various ways in which caves, rockshelters, mines, and other uses of the ‘underground’ have been perceived across the Americas. Running through April 30, 2015, the exhibit demonstrates how caves have provided spaces for ritual and social practices throughout history, while practices such as archaeology, mining, caving, and tourism have emerged in different areas in different times and been slowly added to the repertoire. Photography, cultural objects and artifacts collected from ancient and modern contexts by UC Merced scholars and California residents demonstrate how modern practices intersect and overlap with past practices in interesting, but sometimes conflicting ways. The exhibit has been organized by Marieka Arksey, Ph.D. Student in SSHA at UC Merced. It is made possible with generous assistance and funding from the following: UC Merced’s Center for Humanities, UC Merced Library, California State... |
