Easter for Kids

As director of Musselman Library, Carrie Phillips ’99 believes even the “rarest collections are meant to be studied.”

However, the oldest Bible in Bluffton University’s Musselman Library, dating to the 16th century, was nearly relegated to restricted status in the archives to prevent further wear, tear and damage.

Instead, Phillips applied for and was awarded nearly $5,000 for an Ohio LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) Preservation Grant for a conservation treatment of Bluffton’s 1531 Froschauer Bible.
