SUMMARY:America at 250: Focus on George Washington
LOCATION:Michael T. Sillerman '68 Rotunda\, Rare and Manuscript Collection
 s\, 2B Carl A. Kroch Library\, Cornell University Ithaca\, NY 14853
DESCRIPTION:Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript C
 ollections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration
  of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books\, letters\,
  and documents on the life of George Washington.\n\nThese highlights of t
 he collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president\, Andrew
  Dickson White\, who had a fascination with both American history and boo
 k collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington an
 d his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite 
 subsequent transformations in the discipline\, White’s principle remains 
 resonant: collecting\, displaying\, and teaching with rare books\, autogr
 aphs\, signatures\, and portraits make history tangible and alive.\n\nhtt
