Exploring Tampas History Through Photographs USF Libraries - Tampa campus 2023-08-15 | On July 14, 2023, freelance photographer Chip Weiner gave a lecture for Archives Awareness Week in Tampa. Initiated by the University of South Florida Libraries Special Collections and held at the Tampa Bay History Center, the event was meant to draw attention to two landmark photograph collections that document local history. Unrestricted by copyright and shared freely online by the Tampa/Hillsborough County Library System and USF Libraries, the Burgert Brothers photos are beloved by locals. Lesser known but soon to become a staple resource just like the Burgerts, the George "Skip" Gandy Commercial and Aerial Photograph collection is slated to be digitized in the fall of 2023, providing the community with more than 50,000 iconic images taken between the 1960s and the 2000s by Skip and his father, Sandy Gandy. Through the generosity of Gandy and his heirs, the massive collection will be available to the public free of copyright restrictions and is sure to change the way the public remembers and imagines Florida's past. As Chip said, "every photograph has a story," and he wants them all to be told. With his passion for the photos and a generous gift of $20,000 to the USF Libraries, Chip's example encouraged other donors to give $10,000 for the project. These gifts expedited the process of digitizing Gandy's work for all. Join Chip as he sheds new light on the stories behind the Burgerts and Gandys as photographers and chroniclers of history.

FL Environment & Natural History Collections Virtual Event 9/24/2020 USF Libraries - Tampa campus 2020-09-24 | From climate change to man-made and natural disasters, impacts on our environment have become one of the most pressing issues on the planet – and the significance of environmental research is paramount. In response to this growing urgency, we have begun the curation of the Florida Environment and Natural History (FLENH) Collections, incorporating over 20 existing collections from scientists and scholars that chronicle Florida’s environment and natural history. Collections include rare books and maps of now extinct or evolved species of flora and fauna spanning more than 400 years, oral histories from some of the Bay’s most prominent stewards, Audubon Florida’s archive of daily journals and statewide warden reports from 1900 to 1970, and our most recent acquisition of USF Integrative Biology Professor Emeritus John Ogden’s work, who studied coral reef ecosystems throughout the world and maintained binders of slides, data, and narratives, with published papers attached. This virtual event from Thursday, September 284th tours the FLENH hub, where you can see what potential these collections hold, where students, scholars, and the community alike can research, discover, and interrogate the past and design solutions for the future of our environment. To learn more about these collections, please email: spcinfo@usf.edu
