Last week, students learned the basics of bookbinding and created their own hand-bound journals with Gerald Ward, Assistant Director of Archives & Special Collections. They got a closer look at the history behind the craft, the tools of the trade, and what it actually takes to turn a stack of paper into a book.

Yesterday, we had so much fun picking up some new life skills at our Sewing for Beginners workshop! Participants learned the basics of sewing and left with a sewing kit to keep practicing at home. 🧵

A special thank you to Nita Williams for sharing her sewing skills with us! This was her very first workshop after almost 40 years as a librarian at HPU! đź’ś

From the Archives

With the new semester underway, we’re looking back at a High Point College chemistry class from the 1950s. This archival photo offers a glimpse of science education on campus more than 70 years ago.

The HPU Libraries Archives & Special Collections team works to Discover, Teach, and Preserve HPU History, which allows us to keep moments like this accessible for future generations of the HPU community.
