  • Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings
    Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings The Directory of Institutions is the first part of a continuation of the Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada, published in 1935 and 1937, and its 1962 Supplement.1 The present Directory details, when known, the current location of the collections listed in the original Census and Supplement, and identifies an additional 281 North American repositories of pre-1600 European manuscripts in Western languages that were not included in the earlier works. For all of the 475 North American repositories, this Directory provides updated contact data and general information on pre-1600 manuscript holdings. Detailed descriptions of individual manuscripts are outside the scope of this Directory, but bibliographical references to published catalogues and internet addresses giving access to on-line cataloguing records are provided when available. Following the organizational scheme of the original Census and Supplement, the Directory entries are organized alphabetically by State and City, with public collections listed first for each city, followed by private. (Due to privacy issues, modern private collections are not included). As in the original publications, the Canadian Provinces are found in a separate listing at the end of the directory. We would like to thank the hundreds of individuals who have contributed to this updated directory through their gathering and sharing of information regarding the whereabouts of pre- 1600 manuscripts in North American collections. To keep this information current, we ask that any updates or corrections be reported to us at [email protected].

    WELCOME TO FAMILY WEEKEND OCTOBER 18-20, 2019 EVENT GUIDE WELCOME TO FAMILY WEEKEND We are delighted you are here for this very special occasion! Family Weekend is an important event in our community — a time when students share their lives on campus with their families. We hope your visit provides you a glimpse of the intellectual and cultural vitality of your student’s home away from home. Get a taste of learning at Brown by attending an Academic Forum with one of our celebrated faculty members. No papers to write, no exams to take – just pure immersion in fascinating topics like sustainability, research and Brown’s Open Curriculum. Watch a special screening of the Oscar-winning documentary “Period. End of Sentence.” followed by a panel discussion with one of the film’s executive producers, Charlotte Silverman ’22, and current Brown students working on solving big global problems. And if you would like to learn more about how Brown’s Open Curriculum has supported the intellectual and personal development of individual students, encouraged students’ active participation, and forged learning communities across disciplines for the last 50 years, join us for “Educating your Student at Brown: Life and Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom.” At the Weekend Keynote Address, hear firsthand from President Christina Paxson P’19 and Undergraduate Council of Students President William Zhou ’20 about the innovative ways we are making a Brown education the signature experience of a lifetime — and preparing students for “lives of usefulness and reputation” as engaged citizens of the global community. Following President Paxson’s remarks, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi ’91, P’22 will deliver the keynote address.
