Shown above are a sampling of academic and community studies based on research from our facility. Please let us know at our email of a work not listed here – and if has been especially compelling to you, share why so. We are trying to compile a list of works which used research from our holdings as a way to show the diverse impact our records have had in educating both an academic audience and the general public.
