Exhibits

Exhibits provide an attractive venue in which library collections can be introduced and interpreted. They can also expose library collations inadvertently to high heat, humidity, and light levels for extended periods of time.

The Weissman Preservation Center (Harvard University Library) and Conservation Services (Harvard College Library) can help evaluate exhibition spaces and furniture, recommend safe display methods, and identify particularly vulnerable materials that would likely suffer from exhibition.

These services are free-of-charge to the Harvard University Library community.
