Through the Buchanan Library Fellowship, Stephanie Hickman collaborated with Special Collections and University Archives librarians (Sarah Calise & Mary McSparran) and three other undergraduate students to create The Tortured Poets Department: ¹ú²ú´«Ã½'s Version. 

Through this multimedia virtual exhibit, the team explored how Taylor Swift's lyrics resonate with human stories and histories preserved in ¹ú²ú´«Ã½'s archives. Along the way, they learned about primary source preservation, description, research, and exhibit curation and design.

Stephanie curated three exhibits ("," "," and "") and ultimately used this work as her Immersion ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ culminating project.
