Get Directions

Did you know that Oberlin’s libraries house vast collections of unique and rare primary materials? You’ll find cuneiform and papyrus texts, early modern illustrated Japanese books, Indonesian shadow puppets, anti-slavery pamphlets, Spanish plays, Renaissance imprints, pre-cinematic devices, first editions of significant scientific and literary works, archives of American social and civil history, musical manuscripts, artists’ books, and much, much more!

In this workshop, faculty members, curators, and archivists already working with special collections will offer mini master classes on ways you can offer extraordinary experiences using primary sources in your classroom and assignments. You can find more info at this link
