Registration for the Summer Term of the Newberry’s Adult Education Seminar Program is now open! Each term, seminar instructors facilitate lively classroom debate and discussion in a variety of subjects, from literature and theater to philosophy and religion.
In the 18th century, botany was both a wholesome domestic activity and a transgressive field of study about plant sexual reproduction. Newberry fellow Katie Sagal discusses how women writers navigated this perilous terrain to expand their roles in scientific and literary communities.
The Newberry’s collections are now open to anyone without any licensing or permissions fees to the library. In eliminating these fees, we’re hoping to encourage users to interact more freely with our holdings, whether in person or online—where 1.7 million high-res images are currently available.
At the heart of the Newberry is a set of collection strengths that attract a variety of readers and serve as inspiration for our public programs and academic endeavors.
