If you come across something relevant, please submit it to us (along with a few short sentences about why you think it is particularly helpful) at tufts.museum.blog@gmail.com. We will post your suggestions as they come in, as well as adding them to our permanent What We’re Reading page.

So, please keep your eyes peeled and keep us in mind when you find something interesting!

Just as a reminder, the What We’re Reading page also compiles some helpful blogs that are worth checking regularly.

If  you have an idea or piece of writing to share, please email us at tufts.museum.blog@gmail.com
