About the Exhibition
Houghton Library staff celebrate the library’s 75th anniversary with an open house-inspired showcase of its outstanding collections.
Fifty archivists, conservators, curators, librarians, specialists, and student workers who make up “Team Houghton” share memorable items encountered during careers at the library that range from four months to over forty years. Gained through providing access to over 600,000 printed books and six miles of manuscript and archival materials that comprise the Houghton collection, the staff’s encyclopedic knowledge of the library comes to the fore in this exhibition.
Tours
Come and meet a group of Houghton staff members who will each present the one item they selected for Open House 75 from millions in Houghton’s collections and answer your questions about it. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to discover Houghton Library through the eyes of those who know it best.
