Work on the Library's upcoming digital exhibition has been going swimmingly. The list of collections to be included in the exhibit has been finalized, my research is coming to a close, and scanning will soon commence.
As promised, I will share some hints about the content of the exhibition. Sadly, I am not clever enough to construct a proper riddle, and I believe that creating an anagram would be too time consuming and would divert my efforts away from the project at hand.
So, in lieu of these puzzles, I've decided to provide my clues in the form of Jeopardy!–style questions (or, rather answers) for three of the collections that are included in the project.
See if you can guess the collections!
Mystery Collection #1
The Category is: "Creator"
• Herman Melville dedicated his novel Moby Dick to this New England author.
Mystery Collection #2
The Category is: "Subject"
• Derivations of this word related to slavery can be used as both a verb and a noun.
Mystery Collection #3
The Category is: "Creator"
• Scholars believe that this famous eighteenth century preacher was a chocaholic, as "cakes" of chocolate were in steady demand in his household.
