Join ARLIS/NY at Pratt Institute Libraries for a tour of their special collections led by Johanna Bauman, Associate Director for Collections Management and Alex Austin, Student Success and Assessment Librarian.
Pratt Institute is an art, design, architecture, and information school with campuses in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Pratt's Brooklyn Campus Library is located in the neighborhood of Clinton Hill, in a handsome 1896 landmark building with interiors by the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company. The mission of the Pratt Institute Libraries is to provide outstanding service and access to a resource-rich environment that facilitates critical thinking and creative teaching and learning in the Pratt community.
The Brooklyn Campus Library is home to a number of special collections that are used to support teaching and learning across the Institute’s programs. Special collections include artists’ books, zines, pop-up books, children’s books, ephemera, rare books, and 16mm films. In addition to touring the facilities and getting up-close to highlights from selected special collections, participants will have an opportunity to view the Libraries’ current exhibitions: #Synthetic: A Cabinet of Curiosities and Library Adorned: Jewelry Cuff Exhibit.
