Summer 2013 Special Collections Exhibit:
On the Sunny Side:
An Exhibit from Special Collections and University Archives
Department of Special Collections
976 Memorial Library
728 State Street
July 22 – September 30, 2013
The long, warm days of summer afford a good opportunity to display works on the sun from Special Collections and University Archives. Illustrations of the sun, defined in the first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (Edinburgh, 1771) as "an immense globe of fire," abound among our holdings of early astronomy books; and sun-baked metaphors illuminate many a work of fiction or memory. The sun's rays are seen to measure the day, as they once measured the extent of empire, and books in our collection record both.
