Please join the University Libraries in celebrating outstanding additions to the Wilson Special Collections from the last three years.

During this open-house event, Library staff members will guide you in an up-close experience with rare and one-of-a-kind items from the North Carolina Collection, Rare Book Collection, Southern Folklife Collection, Southern Historical Collection and University Archives. These items illustrate why Carolina's libraries are a point of pride and a destination for research, learning and wonder.

You will have the opportunity to engage with items from across the Special Collections, including materials from:

• Outstanding images from the archives of photographers Roland L. Freeman and Burk Uzzle.
• Scripts and other documents from the collection of comedian Lewis Black.
• Papers from recently retired Rep. G.K. Butterfield.
• Works from the Florence Fearrington Collection, including children's books on natural history and shell illustrations.
• Woodblocks used to print publications for the Propaganda Fide press. This collection is the University Libraries' nine millionth "volume."
