Programs Overview
Cornell University President
Jeffrey Lehman at the opening of
"Pastimes & Paradigms: Games We Play".
The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections offers many opportunities for Cornell students, faculty, staff, and alumni to enjoy the special collections housed in the Carl A. Kroch Library. We also welcome other guests, including members of the Finger Lakes community and scholars from around the world, to visit and enjoy Cornell's diverse collections of rare books and manuscripts during regular library hours.
We offer exhibitions in the Samuel L. Hirshland Exhibition Gallery and provide on-line versions of our current and past exhibitions. We also provide instruction sessions for all levels of students.
