Exhibition - Marginalia in the Whipple Library

‘Marginalia’ has been imagineered by Toby Bryant and actuated and realised by James Livesey.

Across the three display cases on level one in the Haycock Theatre, the exhibition looks at various examples of marginalia from across the Whipple collection. Featuring annotations made in a working medical textbook, bibliophiles collection notes, some shameless hero worship and a watercolour of the authors son, all of the examples chosen are interesting in their own way. They also serve as a ‘what-not-to-do’ guide as to how to treat your Whipple library books.

An in-depth blog about the exhibition will be going up later this week.

If you’re in the library, please do take a look.
