Nearly 90 years ago, famed explorers Bradford Washburn and Robert Bates abandoned a gear cache in the Yukon during their attempt on Mount Lucania. Among the lost items was Washburn’s large-format Fairchild F-8 aerial camera — the very tool that produced his matchless aerial views of Alaska and the Yukon. For decades, the cache was assumed to have been swallowed by a crevasse on the Walsh Glacier.

BU Libraries Archives and Special Collections assisted modern-day explorers in tracing the story.

The result is THE LOST CACHE, a new documentary screening Memorial Day weekend at Mountainfilm Film Festival! We’re proud to have helped bring this story to light and to see Washburn’s legacy reach wider audiences.

I can finally touch grass (even though I have allergies), maybe check out a book from Mugar for leisure reading, watch a film on Kanopy, and most importantly, hear the birds chirp (i’m lowkey scared of birds). Cheers to summer and congratulations to our wonderful grads 🎓💋

Seriously don’t forget that you are worth more than a grade on a midterm. Make sure to take your well deserved rest this break and always be kind to yourself.

I told you I had you covered. From last week’s Valentine’s blind date with a book to our very own BU Common Read this week. Stop by the BU Libraries Orbital exhibit right as you walk in to Mugar and grab your very own free copy at the library services desk. If you’re interested in attending next week’s event, be sure to RSVP with the link in the bio. See you in the stacks!
