Acknowledgements

I created this online exhibit as part of a semester-long internship with the U-M Library. Under the tutelage of librarians Alexa Pearce and JJ Jacobson, I wrote a research guide and created this exhibit. Both are about the history of beer brewing. I took on the project to learn more about brewing history and to learn how research guides and online exhibits are created at the U-M Library. Becoming a subject expert in a short amount of time is a valuable skill in the library and archival world, as is being able to curate an exhibit to show the value of a collection. This was an opportunity I simply couldn't pass up.
