This online exhibition was first published in 2002 by Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections. It accompanied and featured content from the physical exhibition of rare materials displayed in Cornell University’s Carl A. Kroch Library from June 6 to October 4, 2002. Cornell University Library archived the original version of the online exhibition in 2024 to preserve its earlier design. This version maintains access to the original images and text within an updated website.
