SPEC Kit 317: Special Collections Engagement · 29
Exhibition gallery which is a smaller, more intimate space on the second floor. We sometimes have small, short-term
exhibitions in our 18th-century room which is visible from the main gallery though glass, small exhibitions in the lobby,
and two exhibition cases in the Cotsen Children’s library. There is also the Wiess Lounge exhibition area at the Seely
G. Mudd Manuscript Library. Sometime special collections materials are exhibited at the East Asian Library and at the
Marquand Library of Art and Archeology. East Asian rare materials are housed in special collections, but separately
administered. Marquand has its own rare book room not part of my department. We do help with installation of
materials at Marquand and East Asian.
We have two galleries, one on the first floor outside our lecture hall, and one on the second floor, outside the reading
room. We also mount “mini exhibits” in the lecture hall (3 cases and 25 ft of wall space).
We have two main spaces: one in the hallway leading into the reading room and several in the main library.
We have two spaces: Rosenwald Gallery located centrally within the Special Collections Space Kamin Gallery located on
the first floor of the library along a corridor that links the reference collection with the information commons.
We sometimes place exhibits in the library’s exhibition space.
Within the Department’s main reference area, in a conference room, i.e., William Henry Seward Room, and in cases
located outside the Department in the main Library space.
If there is designated exhibit space beyond the library, please describe it.

In 2007, the University Archives and the North Carolina Collection collaborated on a display in the Student Union. The
display contains three very large mounted posters. This case will be available to us indefinitely, so we will probably
change the exhibit every couple of years.
