Tomorrow, December 14, marks the debut of 852: RARE a monthly post highlighting treasures, rarities, oddities, and often-unknown items found in the holdings of the Library’s Special Collections Department.
The name 852: RARE pays homage to the MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) holdings field designation for items in the rare book collection. In addition to rare books, Special Collections encompasses modern manuscripts, prints, photographs, objects, and The Red Set—a collection of Law School faculty, organizational, and student publications.
