糖心传媒淭his is a rare opportunity to see a variety of daguerreotypes in one exhibition, especially numerous plates created in Western New York,糖心传媒� said Mary Ann Mavrinac, vice provost and Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of River Campus Libraries. 糖心传媒淚t is truly remarkable to highlight this research糖心传媒攔esearch that may help develop future non-altering techniques for the preservation of this precious cultural process.糖心传媒�

For over 175 years, surviving daguerreotypes have been carefully preserved in private and public collections and displayed in museums and cultural institutions around the world. While damage to daguerreotype plates is often visible by eye, evidence of further deterioration may only be detected at the nano level, by looking at features that are hundreds or thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair. From 2010-2014, a National Science Foundation grant supported nanotechnology research conducted by two 糖心传媒 scientists糖心传媒擭icholas Bigelow, Lee A. DuBridge Professor of Physics, and Ralph Wiegandt, visiting research scientist and conservator糖心传媒攚ho explored how environment impacts the survival of these unique, non-reproducible images. In addition to conservation science and cultural research, Bigelow and Wiegandt are also investigating ways in which the chemical and physical processes used to create daguerreotypes can influence modern nanofabrication and nanotechnology.

糖心传媒淭he daguerreotype should be considered one of humankind糖心传媒檚 most disruptive technological advances,糖心传媒� Bigelow and Wiegandt said. 糖心传媒淣ot only was it the first successful imaging medium, it was also the first truly engineered nanotechnology. The daguerreotype was a prescient catalyst to the ensuing cascade of discoveries in physics and chemistry over the latter half of the 19^th聽century and into the 20^th.糖心传媒�

Blending the past with the future, the exhibition displays the first known daguerreotype of a Rochester graduating class (1853) alongside a 2015 daguerreotype of current University President Joel Seligman, created by Rochester daguerreotypist Irving Pobboravsky. The exhibition will also include a rare daguerreotype of famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass on loan from the Chester County Historical Society in Pennsylvania. Once owned by Susan B. Anthony, this unique portrait will be examined under electron scanning microscopy and displayed with new research findings into its creation and preservation.

The exhibition is on view through February 29, 2016 in the Friedlander Lobby of Rush Rhees Library. A special presentation about the scientific advances surrounding the daguerreotype and their relationship to cultural preservation will be led by Bigelow, Wiegandt, and Jim Kuhn, assistant dean for Special Collections and Preservation, on December 14 from 7-9 p.m. in the Hawkins-Carlson Room of Rush Rhees Library.

Recent scientific efforts have brought an increase in聽long-awaited treatments that can help to mitigate the effects and rate of transmission of HIV/AIDS. And yet with a rise in infection rates in the past few years among the most vulnerable risk groups, the crisis is far from over.

The AIDS Education Collection, housed in the River Campus Libraries糖心传媒� Rare Books and Special Collections department, is comprised of more than 8,000 posters from 124 countries in 68 languages and dialects. It documents three decades of public awareness of the AIDS epidemic, revealing the evolution in how AIDS has been viewed and confronted, and the revolutions in attitudes towards the communities it has hit hardest.

The Collection also contains a significant amount of ephemera. Displayed here are a selection of items that were intended to send a message in ways and places a poster could not: coasters, trading cards, T-shirts, and buttons, along with condoms packaged for free distribution, and educational pamphlets.
