Rosen-blog: I Love Inventory
http://rosenbach.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-love-inventory.html
Subscribe to the Rosenblog! Friday, July 24, 2015.

Subscribe to the Rosenblog! Friday, July 10, 2015. I'm Allison, the Rosenbach’s newest collections intern! I’ve just returned to Philadelphia after spending the past semester abroad in London, England. I was so excited to explore all of the works by all of the British authors at the Rosenbach.
