Last year, the Fleet Library completed digitizing the entire archive of RISD student publications—1,000-plus issues of 40-plus titles now accessible on RISD’s Digital Commons. A&L is deep in these archives, selecting writings and images from the past 100+ years to be collected in an anthology titled “The Life of This, Our School”: A Students’ History of RISD, 1910-Now.
Get ready, because there are SO many gems in this archive. (The anthology will be out next year.) And in this snowy, knee-deep week, we can’t help but share a little sneak peak at this blast from the past: coverage of the blizzard of 1978 in The RISD Press. Dig in while we dig out. It’s wild and funny stuff.
