Work on the exhibit is almost complete and it should be available online within the next couple of weeks. This exhibit will feature brief glimpses into the various genres of the collection, as well as a link to the finding aid.\u00a0 All the research materials in the SWOFC were donated by professor emeritus Edgar Slotkin who collected them over the span of his four decades of teaching folklore in the Department of English at UC. He saved the years\u2019 worth of student work which now makes up the collection.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/webscreenshot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-20461\" style=\"margin: 6px\" alt=\"Web Exhibit Screenshot\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/webscreenshot.jpg\" width=\"329\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/webscreenshot.jpg 567w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/webscreenshot-109x155.jpg 109w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/webscreenshot-134x190.jpg 134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/a>The web exhibit features brief excerpts from papers, photos, and quotes that give the viewer a grasp of the wide variety of materials that this rich collection has to offer.
