The exhibition "VOCES Oral History Center at 25," on view now through April 7, 2025 in the second floor gallery, celebrates the work of VOCES and highlights the Benson's archival holdings from the VOCES Center.

This exhibition explores the creative potential of zines: their ability to depict humanity in ways that generatively stretch the imagination, using what we've called the "more than human" to recapture agency over marginalized bodies. It is now on view in the Reading Room of the Fine Arts Library through May 10, 2025.

Join us for the 23rd annual ¡A Viva Voz! celebration, hosted by the Benson Latin American Collection.

This hybrid event will feature information about computing services available to UT researchers that are offered by Enterprise Technology, OVPRSCE, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), and UT Libraries at The University of Texas at Austin. We will highlight specific research computing services and also hear from two of our faculty and staff teams about active research computing projects.

In this in-person Using AI for Research session, we will demonstrate how to use AI literature mapping tools, including ResearchRabbit and Inciteful.

Come check out the McNair Scholars Poster Display in Scholars Lab! The McNair Scholars each created academic posters after working on their year long projects with different UT faculty members.
