Scope and content
This collection was developed during the 2018-2019 academic school year as part of a project by University of Miami Library Research Scholar and then senior, David Lanster, who was carrying out research on yeast genetics and metabolism for UM's Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. His goal was to contribute to studies on the cultural and social impact of food history in South Florida by examining food through the lens of various local craft breweries in Miami, which have been perfecting their own craft beer recipes for years. His collection contains advertisements, posters, flyers, beer caps, bottle openers, bottles, glasses, beer taps, and other ephemera and clothing items related to Miami's local craft brewery scene.
System of arrangement
This collection was split into two series based on material type:
Series I. Flyers, posters, ephemera, and small 3D objects
