American Historical Print Collectors Society Upcoming Regional Meeting : William L. Clements Library – Dec. 13, 2024

American Historical Print Collectors Society - Upcoming Regional Meeting
William L. Clements Library, 909 S University Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1190
Friday, December 13, 10:00 am – Noon

Join us for a walk-through of an inspired exhibit comparing original drawings by the legendary editorial cartoonist Pat Oliphant to rare historical prints from the Clements Library collection. In addition, Curator of Maps and Graphics, Sierra Laddusaw, will present a peek at new acquisitions for the library’s graphic arts and map divisions. The Clements Library at the University of Michigan houses one of the nation’s greatest Americana collections.

In addition to the Clements, there are several other great museums within walking distance to complete the day – the Kelsey Museum of Archeology, the Museum of Art, and the Museum of Natural History.

We will meet at 9:45 am on December 13 at the north entrance (glass vestibule facing campus) of the Clements for our tour. We will be asked to sign in and check coats and bags before entering the exhibit space, which is also the Clements reading room.

We will plan on gathering for lunch in the area after the Clements session.

Directions: The Clements Library is located at 909 S. University Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1190 on the main campus of the University of Michigan. A limited number of parking spaces may be available at two and four hour meters within the blocks adjacent to the Clements on Tappan, Monroe, and State Streets. Your best bet will be the parking ramps at 650 South Forest or 324 Maynard Streets, both within a quarter mile.

SPACE IS LIMITED TO 15 ATTENDEES.
