Guided Tours 2019<\/h2>\n

Gutenberg & Friends<\/h3>\n

Among the events for our 2019 Anniversary Year (see below), the Research Group enjoys a set of Guided Tours by our Associate Eric White, Curator of Rare Books in Special Collections of Princeton University Libraries.\u00a0 He guided us through his co-curated Exhibition at Princeton University Library on Gutenberg and After:\u00a0 Europe\u2019s First Printers 1450-1470<\/a> (12 September 2019\u00a0\u2013 15 December 2019).<\/p>\n

These tours, which included members of the Princeton Bibliophiles and Book Collectors (a subgroup of the Friends of the Princeton University Libraries), took place on Monday, 18 November, and Friday 13 December.\u00a0 In appreciation, we took Eric for refreshments afterward nearby. <\/a><\/p>\n

Thus, it was possible not only to ask questions during the tour itself, but also to reflect further in conversations emerging from those direct, expertly guided encounters with the materials themselves.<\/a><\/p>\n
