The Negro & Indian's Advocate (1685) [DUKE001228065] and Supplement [DUKE001225938] by Morgan Godwyn. Cambridge University Press summarizes, "Godwyn insists that black Africans have the same bodily constitution and intellectual faculties as Europeans and that differences between them are not innate, but rather the products of culture and education. He is, however, promoting the conversion and humane treatment of slaves, not their liberation, and he argues that a Christian slave is more docile than a heathen one." The main title and its supplement are in need of enclosures. (Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library) |

Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers , published 1751-72, by Denis Diderot. This is the first encyclopedia to have the contents organized by human thought rather than by nature or theology. This publication was considered innovative in part because it emphasized the mechanical arts, and it named the various authors that contributed content. This complete set contains 70 volumes of text, illustrations and supplements. Each volume needs a custom-made enclosure and many need minor repair to the texts and foldouts. [ Text volumes ] [ Plate volumes ] 61 of 70 volumes available for adoption (Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library) |

Steiff Blue Devil Doll (1953-1954). The Steiff Company was founded in 1880 and is one of the most recognizable stuffed-animal makers. This Blue Devil doll's head is showing signs of rubber deterioration caused by its reaction to oxygen in the air. To slow this decay, it needs a custom anoxic (oxygen free) storage enclosure.

Birds of America by John James Audubon . This four-volume, double-elephant-folio edition on handmade paper measures three feet tall and two feet wide and comprises 435 hand-colored prints impressed from copperplate engravings.
