The 111th Material Culture Forum: Julia Blakely

Description

The 111th Material Culture Forum's topic is "The Art and Science of Celestial Navigation Across the Smithsonian Universe." In this segment, Julia Blakely, Rare Book Catalog Librarian, Smithsonian Libraries, speaks on "Navigating by the Book." Julia has undergraduate and master’s degrees in art history from the George Washington University and a M.S., with a specialization in rare books, from Columbia University. She has a long association with Rare Book School at the University of Virginia. Julia has worked with several private collectors. She sails out of the West River on the Chesapeake Bay where she has never used celestial navigation. Since 1988, the Smithsonian Institution Material Culture Forum has been organizing quarterly meetings that offer staff with opportunities to interact with their colleagues in other disciplines, to share information about their fields, to think about different directions in their research, to develop new collaborative projects, or, to just learn. The Forum considers topics from the vast world of objects that the Smithsonian collects, preserves, studies, and presents. The Forum is welcome to all, including members of the outside academic community. This meeting was recorded in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on February 27, 2019.
