An 18th Century Adult Coloring Book: A scientist found 'The Florist,' a coloring book printed in 1760, in the library of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

A Friendship in the Archives: The friendship between Joseph Mitchell and Ralph Ellison has received little, if any, attention—but in Mitchell’s files, Ellison fills an entire folder.
