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 in person at the University of Virginia and other partner institutions.

Among our selection of more than forty courses, we are pleased to offer H-65: Material Foundations of Map History, 1450 – 1900, taught by Matthew Edney (of the University of Southern Maine) which may be of interest to those involved in work with map collections.

To be considered in the first round of admissions decisions, course applications should be submitted no later than Monday, 20 February. Applications received after that date will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Visit our website at www.rarebookschool.org for course details, instructions for applying, and evaluations by past students. Contact us at [log in to unmask] with questions.

Please share this information with colleagues, students, and friends.

We hope to see you at Rare Book School soon!

With kindest regards,

The RBS Programs Team
