Current Special Collections Exhibit:

Text Support: A Library Exhibit About Paper

April 15 through June 2013
Department of Special Collections & Silver Buckle Press
Memorial Library, 728 State Street
Kohler Art Library, Elvehjem Building, 800 University Avenue

This spring, UW-Madison Libraries will present a multi-library exhibit and series of programs on the subject of paper. The exhibit Text Support will illustrate the history, production and use of paper. The exhibit title acknowledges the inseparable and essential role paper has played in the history of printing. As we discuss the future of the book in a digital age, a reconsideration of paper is timely. Venues include the Kohler Art Library and Memorial Library’s Department of Special Collections, and Silver Buckle Press–2nd floor hall cases.
