Not All Vampires are Evil
During the Text Technologies course I took, my professor and I agreed upon a final project for me oriented around constructing my own exhibit case addressing a recent acquisition by UGA's Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library: The Catherine B. Krusberg Vampire Collection. While handling the logistics to make the project possible, Hargrett asked if I could curate the case to stay up Spring and Summer 2022 as a way of highlighting this recent acquisition. My exhibition case focused on how vampires have developed in media from being villainous monsters (like Dracula) to instead presenting their own side of the story, and eventually becoming the basis for their own fan culture.
