This spring stop by Rare Books and Special Collections to view As Printer’s Printed Long Ago. The Saint Dominic’s Press 1916-1936, an exhibit curated by Dennis Doordan (Emeritus Professor, Notre Dame School of Architecture). Here are a few shots of the preservation work that prepared the items for exhibit.
