The Folger Shakespeare Library and the American Library Association are
planning a project which will bring an original Shakespeare First Folio,
along with informative exhibition panels, to every state and territory
in the U.S. in 2016, the 400th anniversary year of Shakespeare's death.
The objective is to share the story of Shakespeare's life and emphasize
the power and importance of the written word, and to allow public
audiences throughout the U.S. to view an international treasure which is
rarely seen outside of major research libraries and museums.

 

Project planners have created a survey to begin gathering information
from potential venues to better understand how to achieve our goals.  We
are interested in reaching libraries, museums, historical societies, and
other public institutions with the capability of displaying a First
Folio (see details in the survey).  Here is the link to the survey:

Please let us know if you have questions or comments. Completion of this
survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes. 

 

We would like to have surveys completed by June 7, 2013.

 

Thanks very much for your help,
