In the "Keywords" issue of Early American Studies (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018), Danielle C. Skeehan’s essay “Archive” looks at the tale of Catalina de Erauso as told in the book “The Lieutenant Nun: Memoirs of a Basque Transvestite in the New World”, asking “How might such a history help us rethink our assumptions about archives and evidence when it comes to doing queer history?” 

Over the next five weeks, we will be highlighting articles by five different Library Company fellows featured in a special “Keywords” issue of Early American Studies (University of Pennsylvania Press, Fall 2018).

First in this series is Jessica C. Linker’s article, “Technology”, which takes a close look at the women and technologies essential to creating the colored plates in Jacob Bigelow’s American Medical Botany (Boston, 1817).
