Commencing 19 October, the week of activities is a gift that keeps on giving for bibliophiles, history enthusiasts and collectors of all things unique and significant.
In collaboration with the NSW State Library, The University of Sydney Library again joins a host of Sydney’s cultural institutions hosting a series of events, concluding with a Rare Book Fair on campus.
“Our Rare Books and Special Collections holds over 250,000 items”, said Julie Sommerfeldt, Manager of the Rare Books and Special Collections
“Featuring manuscripts, printed and archival material, from diverse places, cultures and religions across time, it is a rich and significant source of material to support teaching, research and outreach at the University.
“It is a treasure trove of discovery. The collections feature diverse items such as illuminated medieval manuscripts, significant early works in the sciences and literature, rare comics, modern science fiction and artists’ books.”
