Explore the wonderful collection of rare books, manuscripts, zines, and artists’ books from Temple’s Special Collections Research Center. Each week, via Zoom, members from Tyler’s Art History department or guest scholars will open a different artifact from the collection, flip through its pages, and share the knowledge within. This virtual series is open to the public, and occurs weekly during the academic year. A schedule will be posted here in advance of future episodes—check back in August 2024 for the upcoming program!

A Look at a Book is a collaborative program between the Art History Department at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture and the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), Temple University Libraries. It has been organized by Prof. Joseph Kopta, Assistant Professor of Instruction, Art History, and Kimberly Tully, Curator of Rare Books, SCRC.
