Dear Readers:<\/p>\n

As of today, I have retired from 精品成人福利在线 University, and new content for The Creative Research Center is suspended until further notice. <\/em><\/p>\n

However, and this is a big \u201chowever,\u201d after a more than a decade of virtual dedication to the dynamic imagination of the University community and beyond, the riches of The Creative Research Center as an institution remain open and accessible to all.<\/p>\n

In addition to the digital archive, by Deed of Gift, the complete paper & notebook-based analog record of The Creative Research Center will be housed in perpetuity in the Harry A. Sprague Library Archives and Special Collections<\/strong> on the MSU campus.<\/p>\n

And so: <\/em>To new arrivals at this Web site, I urge you to carry forward! Range and \u201cclick\u201d widely here to your heart\u2019s content. Your curiosity and intrigue will be well-satisfied.<\/p>\n

To the CRC\u2019s multitude of old friends, students, faculty, neighbors, & collaborators \u2013 thanks for the essays, blogs, pictures, and ideas. You are welcome back any time.<\/p>\n

Farewell thanks to Dean Daniel Gurskis<\/strong> and his administrative colleagues, who supported The Creative Research Center so generously. And last, but certainly not least, my nostalgic gratitude to MSU College of the Arts Emeritus Dean Geoffrey Newman<\/strong>, who offered me this \u201cbox to think outside of,\u201d long ago, with a handshake and a knowing smile.<\/p>\n

…today there is promise alongside the pain in our streets, in the United States and around the world.\u00a0The fire this time<\/em>\u00a0is both a reckoning and an awakening, a global voice united in protesting the crippling ignorance and culpable innocence that James Baldwin decried [in his 1963 essay collection]. Because engagement with history is essential to our freedom, it is a propitious time to reflect upon the fundamental work of our communities: libraries, archives, museums, and galleries, the composite of\u00a0memory institutions<\/u>\u00a0<\/em>in service to the public good. We are conversant and critical with the past as a professional mandate, and insist on its preservation, documentation, contextualization, discovery, and reuse both to inform the present and help envision a more charitable future.<\/p>\n
