- An electronic version of a Bowdoin College Library exhibit, showing many of the fine bindings included in the Bliss Collection. In the early 1950s, Miss Bliss gave Bowdoin the collection begun by her father George T. Bliss, a New York banker, and continued by herself. The 1,200 volumes include bindings by many notable European binders of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. The original exhibit and this on-line adaptation were both prepared by Susan Ravdin, Special Collections Assistant.
- An electronic version of a Bowdoin College Library exhibit, part of the Celebrating Harper symposium held at the College in October, 1996. The symposium honored Michael S. Harper, one of America's premier poets and poet laureate of Rhode Island, whose verse and other works reflect his African-American heritage. The web site was prepared by the staff of the John D. Rockefeller Library at Brown University, based on the display and exhibition notes created by Susan Ravdin, former Special Collections Assistant.
