Join us for a rare opportunity to view a selection of important Athenaeum books in need
of special care. While some of the titles may be unfamiliar today, they were all influential,
shaping public opinion and furthering knowledge. Among them, these books promoted
abolition, documented Native American ways of life, reported on scientific and
geographical explorations throughout North America, and helped to establish a national
identity.

Dr. Sue Weaver Schopf will also present a talk about David Hartley whose groundbreaking psychology book, Observations on Man, will be conserved this round.
