Will you be at the [American Astronomical Society meeting](https://aas.org/meetings/aas246) this month? Stop by iPoster #104.02 (terminal 7) on Monday, June 9 from 9 AM to 10 AM AKDT and talk to [Jennifer Lynn Bartlett](../../about/team/team/jbartlett.html), SciX project scientist for astrophysics. She is presenting “[A Plate in Her Hand](https://submissions.mirasmart.com/AAS246/ViewSubmissionFile.aspx?sbmID=577&mode=html&validate=false)”, which begins to connect the female computers working in Harvard’s “great library of glass” by the astronomical photographic plates they used. Such plates were the only mechanical detector available to astronomers before the 1970s. As these archives are digitized, SciX would like to connect these valuable datasets to the corresponding literature.<br>
