Our friends at smithsonianlibraries just adopted a few items for their Adopt-a-Book program. What beauties!
Some gifs and closeups of items that were adopted for preservation at our Adopt-a-Book Event last Thursday. Our Adopt-a-Book program lets us acquire and preserve rare books and manuscripts here at the world’s largest museum complex.
