The Newberry 125 Exhibition December 27, 2012

The Newberry celebrates its quasquicentennial with an exhibition of 125 of the millions of books, maps, manuscript pages, drawings, and photographs in its collection-these featured items not only creating a neat parallelism (125 items for 125 years of existence) but also embodying the Newberry's mission to provide relevant research and learning opportunities for the public of Chicago and beyond. In short, the items making up The Newberry 125 are some of the Newberry's most immediately awe-inspiring and most utilized, consulted, pored over.
