A Step Back in Time: A Tour of the Love Library Archives and Special Collections September 29, 2009

Part of the 2009 One Book One Lincoln special programming events. The University of Nebraska has a noteworthy Archival staff and Special Collections facility. We will be hosted by Professor Mary Ellen Ducey as we view rare manuscripts, learn about their background and be introduced to special techniques used in the conservation and authentication of rare volumes. We will also be shown how to access some of the many renowned illuminated manuscript collections that have been digitized and are accessible on the Web. A display of rare manuscripts owned by UNL will be available for independent viewing in a showcase outside Special Collections through the month of October.
