About
This exhibit was created to allow the student staff at Special Collections to showcase some of their favorite books and manuscripts from our shelves. Each student chose their own theme of interest and items that support that theme. Work in selecting themes and items was completed in 2025. We hope to continue this project with future student staff employees.
