Diana Kennedy Collection
Cookbooks by nature are heavily used and consulted throughout their lifetime, so it is not unusual that Diana’s 19th century cookbooks require conservation work. This will ensure her rare books are available for future generations of students, researchers, and chefs.
How Your
Gift Can Help
A recent conservation assessment revealed that the books need treatment including surface cleaning, mending tears, new bindings, stabilizing worn covers, reinforcing sewing stitches, and vacuuming as necessary to remove inactive mold. For further information, contact specialcollections@utsa.edu.
Your contribution helps:
- Ensure the materials are in a stable condition so they can safely be used by students, chefs, scholars, and the community
- Introduce rare primary source materials to countless students and researchers at UTSA and San Antonio
- Build a robust and distinctive collection that moves the UTSA Libraries and UTSA closer to R1 recognition
- Invest in San Antonio’s connection to Mexico, making San Antonio a destination city for the study and research of Mexican cuisine worldwide.
- Promote San Antonio’s designation as a Creative City of Gastronomy as recognized by UNESCO
