Previous posts include Head Librarian at the Folger Shakespeare Library and Director of Emory University's Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library where he made a series of impressive acquisitions including the archives of Seamus Heaney, Salman Rushdie and Ted Hughes. Since taking over at the Ransom Center in 2013, Stephen has overseen the acquisition of the archives of Ian McEwan, J.M. Coetzee, Kazuo Ishiguro, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Michael Ondaatje, among others.  We met via Zoom to discuss his role as director of a special collections library; where Martin Amis is, and Christopher Hitchens, Clive James and other members of their group. About fighting oblivion; about the value and challenges of email archives and negotiating or not negotiating with Andrew Wylie; about Texan "nationalism," and the goals of attracting books and people, and developing a "civilization;" about diversity, and hiring practices and collection development policies; about cataloguing, bureaucracies, acquisitions, books bridging political divides, the Gotham Book Mart, sweet little exhibition catalogues, and much more.

His research interests are in 20th century poetry, and he has written on Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, and Seamus Heaney, among others. He is the author of After the Titanic: A Life of Derek Mahon (Gill and Macmillan, 2014).  The Harry Ransom Center is one of the great rare book libraries of the world. Not only does it possess many of the greatest books and manuscripts ever written, it also has an outstanding record of promoting and exhibiting them, and making them available to researchers and the public.  I invited Stephen to participate with me, and a group of Canadian book collectors I've recently helped assemble (working title for the club: Bibliophiles North), in a discussion about how collectors can best go about establishing relationships with rare book libraries in hopes of selling or donating their collections

Steven is a graduate of the University of Michigan and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States since 1996 and has also been the recipient of many accolades including the Denis Diderot A-i-R Grant at Château d’Orquevaux Artist Residency in Orquevaux, France and an Artist Project Grant from the Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. His sketchbooks are in the permanent collection of the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library at Emory University. By day, Steven works as Sr. Graphic Designer at the Office of Undergraduate Admission at Emory University.  A few topics Steven discusses: 1. The importance of attending office hours in college. Office hours exist for you to connect with your professors and/or teaching assistants for any reason - whether you're having difficulty understanding class material or you're seeking their advice as a mentor. This is a rather easy way to become comfortable with networking as well. 2. Benefits of getting out of your comfort zone. Steven encourages everyone to study abroad at some point - especially during college or soon after graduation. He shares the impact of his experience living in Prague after graduating from the University of Michigan. 3. He highlights the fact that most people encourage young adults to attend college, but they rarely tell you why you should attend. It's important to be thinking about your purpose for attending college. What is it that you want to get from your college experience? 4. His journey juggling "9 to 5" jobs along with his own independent art ventures for almost two decades. Connect with Steven!

Joseph Crespino, author and Jimmy Carter Professor of History at Emory University, discusses his book, “Atticus Finch: The Biography,” at a Rosemary Magee Creativity Conversation in Emory’s Woodruff Library. Rosemary Magee, former director of the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library, joins Crespino for the conversation, which includes a discussion of the Rose Library’s recent acquisition from rare book collector Paul R. Kennerson. It contains personal letters to friends and other materials from Harper Lee, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the recently published “Go Set a Watchman.” Finch, a significant character in both books, was based on Lee’s father, an attorney. Crespino’s book draws on exclusive sources to reveal how Harper Lee’s father provided the central inspiration for each of her novels. The Rosemary Magee Creativity Conversations series highlights creativity and imagination as essential to every discipline and enterprise. The event is sponsored by the Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry; Center for Creativity & Arts; Emory College of Arts & Sciences; Emory Department of History; Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, and the Emory Libraries.

New York City-based photographer Hugo Fernandes joins Randy Gue, curator of modern, political and historical collections at Emory’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, for a conversation about his “Intimate Strangers” photography series. For 10 years, Fernandes initiated meetings with men through online and app-based cruising sites to set up photo shoots. The resulting portraits explore anonymity, intimacy, sexuality and digital culture. “One of the striking aspects of the series, specifically addressed in the talk, is how shifts in technology, in photography, and in networking applications affected Hugo’s work,” Gue says. “When he started this project in 2006, he posted ads on Craigslist. Much later in the series, he used apps like Grindr and Scruff.” Fernandes’ work is part of the Rose Library’s growing photography collection that explores issues of gender and sexuality, including the collections of Jon Arge, Dianora Niccolini, Len Prince, Billy Howard, and Catherine Kirkpatrick, as well as the library’s LGBT collections.

Lecture 120 (5 April 1983)

Two Emory Libraries fellows combined history and technology to create a tour of the Emory University campus and Emory Village that is accessible by smartphones and tablets, and the Libraries launched the project with a panel discussion. Panelists include Gary Hauk, Emory University Vice President, Deputy to the President, and Emory historian; Sally Wolff-King, senior editor of health publications at the Emory Clinic and adjunct faculty at Emory University School of Medicine; Leslie Harris, associate professor of history and African American Studies at Emory; and NaVosha Copeland, a senior in Interdisciplinary Studies in History, Society, and Culture at Emory. The Emory Campus History Tour (http://tour.emory.edu) uses historical materials housed in Emory’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library to lead visitors on a directed mobile tour of the historic Druid Hills campus, which was deeded to Emory in 1915. Maps, video clips, and images combine with the narrative to tell a story of the campus and its development throughout the 20th century. Matthew Strandmark, a research library fellow working in MARBL, and Anne Donlon, a postdoctoral fellow with MARBL and the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, co-developed the mobile application.

The award-winning poet Carol Ann Duffy gave a poetry readying at Emory University on February 21, 2015.

She is an award-winning Scottish poet who writes with power, beauty, humor and grace about love, death, and women’s lives. Duffy’s literary papers are housed at the Manuscript, Archives, & Rare Book Library at Emory. MARBL acquired Duffy’s archives in 1999, with a recent set of additions; the newly processed collection is now open and available for research.

Rosemary Magee, Vice President and Secretary, talks about her memories of listening to Paul Simon while she was a college undergrad. Simon, she says, "helped create a travel narrative of our lives." Paul Simon will deliver the 2013 Richard Ellmann Lectures in Modern Literature at Emory University, February 10-12, 2013. The Ellmann Lectures consist of a series of public lectures that are ticketed but free and open to the public. Simon's lectures will concern, in part, an overview of the historical antecedents of the music made between 1966 and 1970. Rosemary Magee is the newly appointed director of MARBL, Emory's Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library. As a professor and administrator, she has worked to strengthen interdisciplinary scholarship, the arts, and creativity. An essayist and fiction writer, she believes in the power of stories, poetry, and songs to shape our world.
