  • A biographical documentary on Brown's best known and least seen professor, produced by the Brown Club of Rhode Island and Friends of Brown University Library, published on CZcams as part of the 2013 Carberry celebrations.
    Professor Josiah S. Carberry, called by the New York Times "The World's Greatest Traveler," has been a member of the Brown Faculty since 1929, specializing in the field of psycho-ceramics (translated as "cracked pots"). Since 1955, at the request of an anonymous donor, the University Library has collected gifts toward the Josiah S. Carberry Fund in memory of Josiah's future late wife, to purchase "such books as Professor Carberry might or might not approve of." Every Friday the 13th (Carberry Day) friends of the University deposit their loose change in cracked pots to augment the fund.
