Sauda Mitchell is SCAD’s archive and special collection librarian on Jen Library’s third floor. There she looks over and handles thousands of rare, limited edition and unique items from a wide variety of mediums. The special collections resource at the library has a lot to offer for students and their research projects. Information can be found in so many different forms for more unique and in-person perspectives, rather than simply sifting through Google search results. Mitchell had pulled some of her favorite items, including a book from 1492, original Anastasia sketches and a small portion of the department’s artist book collection. Check out our video for a more in-depth interview with Mitchell and the images above for some highlighted close-ups.
