Treasures Revealed: A Tour of Mann Library’s Rare and Distinctive Collections Vault
Mann Library is home to an amazing trove of rare and one-of-a-kind items, ranging from the earliest English language guidebooks on beekeeping to lushly colored monthly magazines that shaped the cultural and social ideals of modern America. These items bookend a rare and distinctive collection unlike any you've seen before. For Reunion 2021 we invite Cornell alumni to join us for a first-ever behind the scenes virtual tour of the unique, the unusual and the just plain WOW! found in Mann Library's special collections vault. You will come away enchanted and a little bit more informed about the many, sometimes surprising ways that our library resources support deep research in the life sciences and human ecology disciplines.
This event will be pre-recorded and offered as an asynchronous program during Cornell’s all-online Reunion 2021 (Thursday June 10 – Saturday June 12).
