The archivist and the Unabomber
December 15, 2023

Julie Herrada, curator of the Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center, corresponded with Theodore Kaczynski, the man who terrorized the nation by planting bombs, for years in an effort to collect his documents. The Kaczynski archive — comprised of court filings, prison documents, correspondence, and personal writing — is now one of the most-used collections Herrada manages.
