For #museum30 's #typography theme, this is a mix of typewritten and handwritten text found in the Webb library. Dr. Rolling H. Baker was a mammalogist and dear colleague of our former curator, Dr. Robert G. Webb. He gave out this certificate to those (like Dr. Webb) who went out into the field with him for several years. Dr. Webb was inducted into the Order of the Sigmodon (cotton rats) for being the "field man extraordinaire" for years between 1958 -1970. . . . #sigmodon #cottonrats #fieldwork #historyofscience #herpetologists #mammologists #utep #instaeptx #elpaso411 #itsallgoodep https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpwx1wghDdX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vizfl37tw40e
