Meet the curators of the John Carter Brown Library, an internationally renowned, constantly growing collection of primary historical sources pertaining to the Americas, both North and South, before ca. 1825. The curators will introduce the collection of the library to interested graduate students and enter into a conversation about a few choice JCB highlights. The dialogue will be facilitated by Dennis C. Landis, Curator of European Books, Kim Nusco, Assistant Librarian for Research and Reference Services, and Ken Ward, Curator of Latin American Books. In addition, the Library's current exhibition, "Pamphlet Wars: Arguments on Paper from the Age of Revolutions" commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Stamp Act, will be on display.
