The Boston Athenaeum’s Head of Special Collections, John Buchtel, will provide the opening remarks ahead of presentations by UMass-Boston students around the newly installed collective curation, Pressing Matters: The Impact of Print Across the Atlantic, on display this summer in the Athenaeum’s Leventhal Room cases on the first floor. This student-created installation features printed objects that reveal how their printers captured the attention of their audiences through authorial frontispieces, detailed engravings, and tantalizing title pages. This installation is a collaboration between the University of Massachusetts—Boston and the Boston Athenaeum that aims to allow graduate students to work closely with rare books and special collections and to think about the work of public-facing humanities.
Tickets are free.
