This exhibition of books from Special Collections offers a peek into the history of print culture in the West. With an emphasis on the physical format of the book, the evolution of the title page, and the use of illustrations, From Papyrus to Kindle provides an opportunity to follow the history of written text from papyrus and animal skin to paper and silicon. This exhibit is meant to complement the exhibit "From the Book Forest," which will be shown in the Faulconer Gallery from September 23 through December 11. Curated by Chris Jones. Burling Library, first floor and lower level.
