It’s back-to-school season! Here are some school-related items from our Digital Library:

1) School Notebook, Plant samples, Algebra problems, [1830?] from the Patrick Coad Family Papers.

2) Notebook, Thomas Ewing Sherman at St. Louis University, November 24, 1867 to June 14, 1868 from the Sherman Thackara Collection.

3) Drawings of buildings at the University of Pennsylvania from Philadelphia and its Environs, and the Railroad Scenery of Pennsylvania (1875).

4) Annual catalogue of the officers and students of Villanova College, Delaware Co., Penna., for the academic year 1870-71.

These are all from the 19th-century — it’s interesting to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same!

If you’re heading back to school, good luck with your studies!
