In honor of
Downton Abbey, I just did
a blog post and a display of G. A. Henty books, which are mentioned in
Downton Abbey. Yep, I got all BBC on this one.

| G.A. Henty books ready to be put on display. Note for my archivist friends: these books already had library markings
and labels. We recently moved them into the Rare Book Collection and
relabeled them. |
After working on the above stuff, I zipped out of my office and went down this staircase:
