The items went missing between March 17, 2020, and February 10, 2021, and some may have been offered for sale as early as March 2020. Most of the items do not have any marks that would identify them as property of FSU, although some may have mailing labels for addresses in Tallahassee, Florida. A spreadsheet of the missing items can be downloaded from The New Antiquarian, which reported on the theft. Anyone with information about this theft should reach out to the FSU Special Collections & Archives.
