Overview

Invitation to Special Collections tours offered as part of the State Library's 200th Birthday Celebration

The Special Collections Department is excited to invite you to join us for a highlight tour of our historical holdings on March 18! We will be pulling from storage a selection of materials dating from the 1600s to the modern era. On view will be some of our favorite maps, photographs, rare books, broadsides, manuscripts, and more.

Tours will be offered at 11:00 and 12:15. This event is free and open to the public but due to space constraints, we ask that participants complete this form to register in advance. Reach out to us at special.collections@mass.gov  with any questions.
