centennial of a difficult event

Glance at the nav bar and you’ll find a link for Stanford Library 1906 under Cool Old Libraries. It is a postcard of the ruins of the Stanford Library, badly shaken in the 1906 “San Francisco” earthquake. Google “Stanford Library Earthquake” and you’ll find that in 2006 Stanford held a centennial remembrance (not quite a celebration) of events that took place on- and off-campus during the quake, and also Stanford’s responses. Find a link to more information here.

To look at photographs of the library, pre- and post-earthquake, look here.
