We love when students come to visit! Whitney Hamm has such interesting items and collections in the University Archives and Special Collections. Thanks for visiting!

Students in the UE 100 Social Sciences and Language & Literature learning community toured the university archives today. They got to see the oldest book (1700s) in the collection! Share with us! What is the oldest book that you own? 📚📖
