Q. What’s black and white and red all over?
A. The movie poster for every Russian film ever made.
While their posters suffer from a prescribed trifecta of color, the content and history of Russian cinema are as storied and varied as they come. Check out these for starters.

Ink in Hand: Early Manuscript Documents 11th – 18th Centuries
August – November 2009
This exhibit displays early handwritten forms in documents and books that help illuminate the development of writing in Europe. From the pens of scribes, religious men, and commercial paymasters, these documents demonstrate the broad variety of topics now available for study from religious subjects to legal agreements, and even work records. The library’s collection of early manuscripts was founded by Lloyd Reynolds, a well-known calligrapher and professor of art, and added to by Steven Herold ’63 and other donors.

WorldCat Local is now the default library catalog at Reed. This means that you can search library holdings for Reed, Summit and Worldcat simultaneously and request materials from other libraries right from the catalog.
WorldCat Local provides a different search experience than you might be used to with our existing catalog.
New features include:
- Citations to journal articles
- Faceted browsing, which enables you to limit your search by format, author, date of publication, etc.
- Cover art and previews of content
- Reviews and ratings
- Citation formatting or downloading to EndNote
Questions or comments about the new catalog and its features? Get help via email, IM, or phone or drop by to let us know what you think or to get help.
Where is the Reed-only catalog?
Never fear, fans of the Reed-only catalog! The catalog is still here and is still available for searching. In fact, you should use the Reed-only catalog if you’re looking for materials that are on order, or for certain kinds of materials with common or nondistinctive words in their titles, such as music or journal titles.
Can I still use Summit and WorldCat?
Yes, the old versions of Summit and WorldCat are still available too, if you prefer to begin your search there.

The library of Professor David French and his wife Kathrine came to Reed upon her death in 2006. Their collections contained thousands of volumes from their anthropological studies over six decades on the Warm Spring Indians of Oregon, the linguistics of native peoples worldwide, medical status of cultures, exploration and first contact, and wild plants used for subsistence. The French’s also collected humor, science-fiction, and other popular culture publications. Many hundreds of these items have become part of special collections, and a selection is on display in the library’s wall and flat cases. David French taught anthropology from 1947 to 1988; Kathrine was a research anthropologist from 1981 until 2006.
