Karl Barth's Standing Desk

Last night I was involved with a Barth reading group hosted by Dr. George Hunsinger at the Center for Barth Studies. Tucked away in a corner several feet away from where I was seated was a very special piece of furniture - Karl Barth's standing desk. I snapped a few photos for you, dear reader:

Center for Barth Studies Renovation

As a part of the new library renovation at PTS, the Center for Barth Studies has recently moved into their new home on the third floor of the PTS library. I had a chance to visit yesterday afternoon and snapped a few photos. Note, this is only one of the rooms, but it is the main room for referencing their materials if you are a researcher. They have a large office area next door where hard working folks were updating the Barth Literature Search Project and tolerating a kindly interruption from me.  There's another archival area where miscellaneous holdings are kept, including (I believe I heard this right), some unpublished Barth materials. It's a beautiful new place. Here are the photos:
