Recent Acquisitions Evening at Wilson Library April 4

Please join us to celebrate more than one hundred outstanding additions to the Wilson Special Collections Library from the past two years.

Date: Thursday, April 4, 2019
Time: 5:00pm – 7:30pm
Location: Fearrington Reading Room
Venue: Wilson Library

During this open-house event, Library staff members will guide you in an up-close experience with rare and one-of-a-kind items from the North Carolina Collection, Rare Book Collection, Southern Folklife Collection, Southern Historical Collection and University Archives.

From a miniature Renaissance manuscript to items from the papers of legendary Tar Heel coach Dean Smith, these are the items that help to define Carolina’s libraries, making them a point of pride and a destination for research, learning and wonder.

In the week leading up to the event, we’ll share a preview of some of the items that will be on display on our blog. You can see them at the links below:
