������Ƶ

this quarter is grabbing headlines with an exhibition of front pages of the student newspaper, from The Weekly Agricola to The ������Ƶ Aggie. The library is also showcasing the university’s viticulture and enology collection, and, in conjunction with that, holding a panel discussion on “The Emergence of Modern ������Ƶ Wine” — a program that will include a discussion of the recent wine country fires.

— See UC Davis history through the eyes of student reporters for The ������Ƶ Aggie. Historic front pages dating back to its earliest years — when UC Davis was still the University Farm and the campus paper was called The Weekly Agricola — are on display.

Can’t make it to campus? Can’t get enough Aggie history? Follow @ThisWeekinTheAggie on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram all year for gems from the archives.

The UC Davis Library, home of the University Archives, is now engaged in a project to digitize the complete Aggie archive, then put it online in a searchable format.

You will find this exhibition to the left of the main staircase as you enter the library.

— The story of wine comes to life through this colorful exhibition featuring:

• Research materials from emeritus faculty who helped shape UC Davis’ viticulture and enology department into the global leader it is today, including Albert J. Winkler and Harold P. Olmo
• Vintage wine labels and menus collected by Maynard Amerine, legendary professor of viticulture and enology
• Photographs and other materials from the collections of leading wine writers and winemakers such as Robert Mondavi, Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson
• Rare books on wine and more

You will find this exhibition in the display cases outside Special Collections on the first floor of the library.
