SUMMARY:Handmade and Heartfelt: Selections from the April 16\, 2007 Condolence Archives
DESCRIPTION:Following the events of April 16\, 2007\, Virginia Tech 
 received thousands of handmade and heartfelt items to express condolences\, 
 thoughts and prayers of healing and support\, and solace for the Hokie 
 Community. \n\nThe Virginia Tech April 16\, 2007 Condolence Archives was 
 created by the University Archives\, under the direction of University 
 Archivist\, Tamara Kennelly\, to preserve this outpouring of support from 
 communities across the world. Virginia Tech received over 90\,000 letters\, 
 cards\, posters\, banners\, photographs\, artifacts\, textiles\, books\, 
 certificates\, and more from people and organizations all around the world 
 and left at memorials on the Blacksburg campus. Special Collections and 
 University Archives collected representative items in the Virginia Tech 
 April 16\, 2007 Archives of the University Libraries\, a collection of over 
 500 cubic feet of material. Items from every continent\, 80 countries\, and 
 all 50 U.S. states are represented in the collection. \n\nStarting in the 
 summer of 2007\, representative artifacts were digitally photographed to 
 share with the world. Those artifacts are publicly available online as part 
 of the Virginia Tech April 16\, 2007\, Condolence Archives of the 
 University Libraries on VTechWorks at 
 https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/handle/10919/11385.\n\nThis exhibit\, 
 "Handmade and Heartfelt: Selections from the April 16\, 2007 Condolence 
 Archives\," highlights just a few of the collected items that were made by 
 hand to share the hearts of the world with the Hokie Community. In addition 
 to the physical exhibit located in the Special Collections and University 
 Archives Reading Room\, an online exhibit is available here 
 https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/exhibits/show/april16handmade.\n\n\nWe
