It's Giving Blueday! We hope all our friends who celebrate had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend, and after giving thanks and spending time with your families near and far (and shopping all those great deals!), we hope you'll have it in you to help support the UM Papyrology Collection! These funds help us conserve, study, and present papyri that give us insight into personal family interactions in antiquity (we're certain some of them had similar arguments around the dinner table as some of us had at Thanksgiving . . . ) and the deals they struck for the latest and best model of . . . cows. And linen! Great deals that rival our Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, we're sure. But only your donations can help us discover these treasures!

Victors for Michigan I just made an online donation to support via Leaders & Best. Every gift matters
