Presentations

Throughout the year, the Rare Books Division offers presentations to University of Utah faculty and students in conjunction with courses to an overview of the history of the book — from Sumerian clay tablets to 21st century artists' books.

In most circumstances, presentations consist of a display of items from the rare book collections, a lecture by the curator, and an opportunity for participants to engage, hands-on, with selected items from the rare book collections. Presentations generally last from 50 minutes to an hour and a half. The curator is happy to discuss variations of this format with faculty.

We welcome participation of faculty and students from other institutions of higher learning. Presentations to adult community groups on- and off-campus may also be arranged. We regret that we are unable to accommodate K-12 groups.
