“The curators of the exhibition, The Most of Special Collections, charged me to write a one-page introduction that would explain precisely what ‘Special Collections’ are. I first thought this a hopeless task: no matter what I wrote about special collections, I would be right, but my definition would be incomplete. Seeking ideas, I examined the group of items chosen for exhibition; a more diverse group of materials could scarcely be found.” Very neat site.
