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 displays are Web versions of previous physical exhibits and focus on specific topics, while others thematically group selected materials from within our collections.
You may also wish to visit our Digital Projects area for information and links to online initiatives being developed by the Department to document collections comprehensively.
