The Northwestern Library and its archives house thousands of books, research materials, fascinating historical artifacts, and art works, some seldom seen by the public. Within its vast troves are items ranging from ancient Mesopotamian tablets, to the 20th century ransom letter to the Franks family from Leopold and Loeb, to the latest publications from around the world. This course highlights the intriguing diversity of the library's collections and the unique work of its specially trained librarians, archivists, curators and conservators.
