Research Projects |
- During Brockmeyer's upcoming sabbatical, 2013-14, she will curate the Nin Literary Collection. This collection of
books, documents, recordings and memorabilia of authors and scholars such as
Anais Nin, Henry Miller, Evelyn Hinz, John Teunissen and others was donated to St.
Thomas More College in 2004. Brockmeyer has been granted substantial funds from the donor to undertake
this project. The project will involve the design and creation of a web-based
exhibition, the creation of finding aids and a bibliography of holdings, and
may also include an exhibition and catalogue.
