Treasures of Boatwright Library

Stop by and view the "Treasures of Boatwright Restored", an exhibit of books from the Boatwright Library Special Collections on the second floor of the library. The exhibit includes rare and unique items that have been restored, conserved and preserved over the course of some thirty years with the generous support and funding of the Friends of the Boatwright Memorial Library. The exhibit includes a rare copy of Virgil's Publii Virgilii Maronis, published in London in 1658 and presented by the U.S. Consul of Naples to Dr. J.L.M. Curry for the Richmond College Library in 1890; and a copy of The Addisonian Miscellany, with writings by the English essayist Joseph Addison, published in Boston in 1801 and beautifully restored by Master Hand Bookbinder John Field. The exhibit extends through December 2004.
