Have you ever seen a wormhole in a 15th-century Bible? Studied star charts in a 16th-century astronomy book? Browsed a 19th-century fashion magazine? Followed Batman’s earliest comic adventures?
Please join the student researchers of Dr. DiCuirci’s English 243 course and the Special Collections staff in the AOK Library Gallery to learn more

  • star charts in a 16th-century astronomy book, 
  • 19th-century fashion magazines, 
  • and a 20th-century comic book featuring one of Batman's early adventures,
  • and more!
