This album contains pictures and descriptions of past exhibits. Files on past exhibits are deposited yearly with the University Archives. Any group or person, regardless of whether they are employed by the Library or even Northwestern University, may apply to install an exhibit in the main lobby exhibit cases following the objectives of the Exhibits Policy. Design and execution of exhibits must be carefully planned in advance and exhibits must not impede the regular functions of the Library. Submit an application regarding content and proposed dates for the exhibit.
Exhibits are normally scheduled over a year in advance, so please plan ahead.
Contact the designated Liaison of the Exhibits Committee well in advance of the exhibit installation date to discuss facilities, procedures and supplies. These should be sent to the Conservation unit at least one month before exhibit installation. Prepare a poster with title and explanation of the exhibit, and labels for the cases identifying the items. The poster should include the sponsoring body and the inclusive dates of the exhibit. Labels should be mounted or printed on heavy card stock and be of a uniform size throughout the exhibit.
