Mawrginalia aims to highlight some of the strange and fascinating marginal notes and other markings our team found in Bryn Mawr College library books, many of which were donated from the personal collections of administrators, professors, and notable figures in the college’s history. Whether scribbles, annotations, inserts, or owners’ names, readers leave traces of themselves on the pages, rendering each book copy unique. The project explores how people have interacted with books not just as texts, but also as material objects, shedding new light on Bryn Mawr’s library holdings.
