The Year of the Library

As we noted in the last issue, the academic year 1995-96 will mark two major anniversaries for the library: the 200th year since its founding, and the 25th in the present Lauinger Library building.

Work has already begun on preparing a revised and expanded edition of Special Collections at Georgetown, scheduled to appear in early 1996. The new edition will feature descriptions of more than 75 significant collections of a rare books, manuscripts, and graphics acquired since 1989.
