The Library of Virginia is proud to announce an online
exhibition:
"The Common Wealth: Treasures from the Collections of The
Library of Virginia"
The URL is http://leo.vsla.edu
The online exhibition is a preview of the major exhibition of
the same title that opens at the Library of Virginia on
September 4, 1997. The online exhibition contains a sample of
the hundreds of rare and beautiful books, manuscripts, and
images that will be on display at the Library through September
7, 1998.
The online exhibition also offers information about the
Library's forthcoming book, The Common Wealth: Treasures from
the Collections of The Library of Virginia. The book includes
a history of the Library and more than 250 full-color
illustrations of items from the Library's collections.
Designed by Rose Schooff, the online exhibition is linked to
the rich resources of the Library of Virginia's Web
site. Thus it also provides an introduction to the numerous
databases, online catalogs, and millions of images available
through the Library's home pages.
Best of all, the online exhibition is a lot of fun. Take a
look!
