From Shipping Crate to Exhibit Case: The Lisa Unger Baskin Collection

In April 2015, the Lisa Unger Baskin Collection arrived at the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University. Comprising over 11,000 rare books and thousands of manuscripts, journals, ephemera, and artifacts, the Baskin Collection includes many well-known monuments of women’s history and arts as well as lesser-known works produced by female scholars, printers, publishers, laborers, scientists, authors, artists, and political activists.

“From Shipping Crate to Exhibit Case” looks at the comprehensive work of libraries, including how we organize, conserve, describe, and exhibit, through the lens of this unique collection.

Our new exhibit Five Hundred Years of Women’s Work: The Lisa Unger Baskin Collection will be available for viewing after the program, in the Mary Duke Biddle Room.

Free and open to the public.
