years in operation!

Virginia in Charlottesville (June–August), the Lillian Goldman Law Library,
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Library, and Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript
Library at Yale University in New Haven (June), the Rare Book and Manuscript

This year RBS adds seven new courses, highlighted in bold

RBS is pleased to offer several courses of interest to scholars of the 19th century,
including “The Printed Book in the West Since 1800,” taught by Eric Holzenberg,
