Public Tour of The Making of the Medieval Book

Syracuse University Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) is offering public tours of The Making of the Medieval Book exhibition in May and June 2025. The tours will be led by the curator of the exhibition, Dr. Irina Savinetskaya, SCRC’s curator of the early to pre-20th century. Showcasing SCRC’s collection of Western European medieval manuscripts from the 13th to the 16th centuries, alongside examples of bookmaking from Persia, Japan and Ethiopia, the exhibition explores how medieval books were made, used and re-used over time as well as their impact on early printed books and modern book design. Tours are free and open to the public. Spots are limited, so registration is required.
