A Visit to the UVA's Special Collections Library
Last month, I had the pleasure of receiving a personal tour of an exhibition at the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia with curator David Whitesell. The exhibition, entitled "Fearsome Ink: The English Gothic Novel to 1830" will be on display through May 28th.
Below is a video of my exhibition tour with David Whitesell, created with my iPhone:
If you enjoyed the video tour, also be sure to check out our visit to the Innerpeffray Library in Perthshire, Scotland, last year.
