Online Exhibits
In addition to the physical displays in our Exhibit Room, the Department of Special Collections also produces "virtual" displays of some of its important holdings and collections for viewing online. Some of these "virtual" displays are Web versions of previous physical exhibits and focus on specific themes, while others attempt to document a collection comprehensively.
