Museum Studies Intern at the University Library System - Spring 2016

I made a video to discuss my Special Collections exhibits internship and show people a part of the library that they don't often see! Please enjoy.

Descriptions of Pittsburgh in Maps, Words, and Images will be in the Special Collections department, Hillman Library room 363 until July 2016.

Beyond the Nine Mountains and Nine Forests: Folk and Fairy Tales from Eastern Europe will be in the display cases on the second floor of Hillman Library through Summer 2016.
