After spending the summer as a Research Assistant for the Fanzine Project at UCR's Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy, the Eaton librarian, JJ Jacobson, invited me to co-curate the Special Collections exhibit on 200 years of Frankenstein. This year-and-a-half long project will allow me to work with the rich collection of Frankenstein-related materials housed in the Eaton collection, including a first-edition 1818 Frankenstein in three volumes, and a fascinating copy of the third-edition 1831 Frankenstein.
Additionally, we are creating a FrankenBlog, which will trace the growth and development of our exhibit, while also celebrating other Franken-Related materials, events, research, and more. Click here to check it out!
