With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we wanted to share a sentimental artifact this week! If you're feeling homesick, did you think about cooking up a recipe from home? In similar fashion, the photos below feature a UF cookbook titled "Home Sweet Home: The University of Findlay Faculty, Staff, & Student Recipes From Home." Compiled in 2002 at the 10th Chairman's Barbecue, it is a compilation of recipes contributed by UF faculty, staff, and students. Each page is filled with recipes from different households, providing a taste of "home." It contains a variety of dishes, including entrees, soups, side dishes, breads, and even desserts!
Want to try a recipe?
If you are up to the challenge of making one of these dishes, please share it with us on Instagram (@ufindlayshaferlibrary) or email us a photo at library@findlay.edu. If you are interested in visiting the University Archives to see more UF cookbooks, email brigitte.galauner@findlay.edu to set up an appointment. We look forward to seeing your dishes!

On January 1st, 2024, the Disney film Steamboat Willie entered the public domain. While other versions of Mickey Mouse are still protected under copyright law, Disney characters remain a popular costume choice for children and adults! Check out the homecoming photo below featuring Findlay College students and their Disney-themed attire. We are unsure of the date, but the outfits provide some context. The Disney characters featured are Dumbo, Jiminy Cricket and Pinnochio, Dopey from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Mickey Mouse. Their outfits also represent Delta Zeta, a sorority on campus at the time. How do these compare to the Disney costumes of today?
If you have any additional information about this photograph, please share it with us! Send us an email at library@findlay.edu.
