Upcoming Events: December and early January

There are no events scheduled to be hosted in Rare Books and Special Collections in December or early January 2019.

Rare Books and Special Collections will be closed for Notre Dame’s Christmas and New Year’s Break (December 24, 2018, through January 1, 2019).

We otherwise remain open for our regular hours during Reading Days and Exams, and welcome those looking for a quiet place to study.


There are just two more weeks to see the exhibit In Solzhenitsyn’s Circle: the Writer and his Associates, which runs through December 14 (the Friday of Notre Dame’s final exams week).

The current spotlight exhibits are Frankenstein 200 (August – December 2018) and Delamarche’s États-Unis de l’Amérique septentrionale: The United States in 1785 (November – December 2018).
