Summer Seminars at the American Antiquarian Society
Dear friends and colleagues, This summer, the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) is offering week-long seminars on the history of the book and visual culture. AAS seminars are open to academics, library and museum professionals, independent researchers, and members of the antiquarian book trade. Hands-on sessions with AAS's exceptional collection of rare books, periodicals, manuscripts, and the graphic arts are a hallmark of the seminar experience. Please follow the links provided below for more information and instructions on how to apply: "Disability Histories in the Visual Archive: Redress, Protest, and Justice" June 9-14, 2024. Sponsored by the Center for Historic American Visual Culture (CHAViC): https://www.americanantiquarian.org/2024-chavic-summer-seminar "Comparative Migrations and Multilingual Cultures of Print" July 14-19, 2024.
