Unique Holdings: Spellbound
Join us on October 29 to celebrate Halloween at a brown bag discussion of our rare books on magic, pseudoscience, and the occult.
University of Houston Libraries invites faculty and staff, students, researchers, and anyone interested in discovering unique materials to attend a magical and dastardly brown bag presentation on Thursday, October 29 in the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Pavilion at the MD Anderson Library.
English and linguistics librarian Jesse Sharpe and library specialist Kristine Greive will present “Spellbound,” an exploration of rare books on magic, pseudoscience, and the occult housed in UH Special Collections.
The October 29 talk is part of Unique Holdings, a new series that highlights the rare archival items held by Special Collections and available for use by faculty, students and researchers.
Future Unique Holdings talks will feature liaison librarians discussing other books and manuscripts of Special Collections that can inform and shape scholarly endeavors in any discipline.
Bring your lunch and enjoy an enlightening discussion!
