The Sallie Bingham Center and the Lisa Unger Baskin Collection: Yours Respectfully, “A Wild Project…but Grand”
Laura Micham will share some of the ways the Lisa Unger Baskin collection has been cataloged and described, used in research and teaching, and exhibited, both digitally and physically, since it debuted in the Duke and Grolier Club exhibitions of 2019 and 2020. The collection documents women’s work, broadly conceived, from the mid-fifteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Carefully assembled over 45 years by noted bibliophile, activist and collector Lisa Unger Baskin, the collection includes more than 11,000 rare books and thousands of manuscripts, journals, ephemera and artifacts. Live Q&A and and audience participation encouraged.
