“In Darkness Dwells the People Which Knows Its Annals Not” - inscription on the William L. Clements Library, University of Michigan.

I've been at the William L. Clements Library for the last few days. I am wading through the extensive Thomas Gage Papers. I'll be dropping a few nuggets here in the future, but I thought the inscription on the front of the building was worth noting as well.

The staff here are excellent. I have experienced and have witnessed nothing but the highest standards of customer service from the team in the Reading Room, maps, and manuscripts.

Barbara DeWolfe, Curator of Manuscripts
Brian Leigh Dunnigan, Associate Director, Research & Publications, and Maps
Clayton Lewis, Head of Reader Services and Curator of Graphics
Diana Sykes, Reading Room Manager
Terese Austin, Reading Room Supervisor
Valerie Proehl, Reading Room Supervisor

If you are ever in the Ann Arbor area, do stop in. You won't regret it.
