“The most generous, intense, and collaborative learning experience I have ever had.” – 2019 Rare Book School student

Expand your understanding of book history during a Rare Book School course this summer. Our five-day intensive courses on the history of manuscript, print, and digital materials will be offered online and, conditions permitting, in person. A decision about in-person courses will be made no later than March 1. If courses move to an online format, more online courses will be announced.

Among our thirty-four courses, we are pleased to offer several pertinent to those involved in the study of artist books, illustration, rare books, manuscripts, special collections, and librarianship in special collections. These include: 

–H-155: The History of Artists' Books since 1950, taught by Tony White
