Undergraduate reports from the Reading Room

Thanks for sharing! It’s great to read student reflections on being in the reading room and on handling rare materials. It also sounds like these undergrads are developing skills while doing interesting research on a variety of topics. Please post more on this class!

We’re glad to have you in the reading rooms! I too have been interested in the printing of marginal notes that seem to interpret the printed text: they raise the question, why don’t we have such notes now? Do we feel that we all, each of us, should have our own opinion of what’s going on in the text and so don’t kneed prompts in the margins? I hope you enjoy your time in the Library!
