A rare opportunity to learn more about our rare book collection
On September 23, OVS (Office of Visitor Services and Volunteer Management), was pleased to host Special Collections Reference Librarian, Allie Alvis, and American Art and Portrait Gallery Reference Librarian, Alexandra Reigle, for a virtual lecture about the Smithsonian’s rare book and manuscript collection.
