rare books & archives, what's the diff?
In this video, I explain the key differences between rare books and archives, emphasizing that rare books are typically bound printed or manuscript objects, while archives consist of a broader range of documents and materials. I highlight that our Mortimer Rare Book Collection includes both rare books and archival collections, such as Sylvia Plath's papers and materials related to Virginia Woolf. I encourage viewers to explore our finding aids by visiting findingaids.smith.edu to discover various collections, especially if they have specific topics in mind, like printing. This resource can help you delve deeper into our unique materials.
