Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
This year the Institute Archives and the Lewis Music Library have added some very cool things to their special collections. Lewis Music has acquired a 15th century chant book that's got to be the biggest volume you've ever seen. For balance, they've acquired a teeny tiny miniature book to go with it. The Archives has some "new" acquisitions too: want to see a 4,000 year old cuneiform tablet? How about a second-folio copy of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar from 1632? If you prefer something more recent, we'll have a mid-20th century lab notebook from a founding member of the Center for Cancer Research. Come get an up-close look at these treasures and several others. Drop in between 10 and 11 am.
