Special Collections Fall Open House
Event box
Join Princeton University Library in Special Collections for our first Fall Open House!
Showcasing the work of Special Collections, the event will feature recent acquisitions and materials featured in instruction as well as conservation treatments that maintain the collections.
This is a unique, after-hours opportunity to visit with these items in the Special Collections Reading Room and to learn how to access collection materials independently. Attendees will be able to look up-close at the items and ask questions of curators, conservators and other SC staff in attendance.
As a special giveaway, the first 100 attendees will receive one of two limited edition Decalcomania stickers featuring items included in the open house display.
Refreshments will be served in the Special Collections reception area. No food or drink will be allowed in the Reading Room.
Registration information:
Princeton University affiliates are welcome to drop in, though registration is requested to help us anticipate numbers.
Members of the community should register to facilitate access to Firestone Library and the event.
