“Getting High at Harvard: Studying the Ludlow-Santo Domingo (LSD) Library at Houghton Library”

Jensen Davis

Houghton celebrates what would have been the collector Julio Santo Domingo’s 60th birthday with an in-depth look at his creation, the LSD Library, from one student’s perspective. Birthday cake will be served!

Jensen Davis is a sophomore at Harvard College, joint-concentrating in History and Literature and Women and Gender Studies. She was a summer 2017 SHARP/Houghton Library Fellow with a project focused on researching the origins of the psychedelic movement in America. She used the Ludlow-Santo Domingo Library extensively in her research.

This event is free and open to the public.

Newman AB 1966, MBA 1968). Located on the first floor of Houghton Library, this room serves as a location for a variety of public programs.
