Many of us are missing our rare book community gatherings. Spurred by our inability to gather and learn in person, a number of individuals and institutions are finding creative ways to continue the discussion, even with collections locked away!
Find the latest virtual rare book discussions, presentations and webinars here. See something? Say something! Use the hashtage #VirtuallyRare on twitter to share your discoveries with the group!
