Concierge 44: Creating Special Collections Exhibits by Becky Fischbach
Fischbach, BeckyFebruary 2018This session will offer an overview of the “whys and hows” of planning, designing, and producing exhibitions for the Library’s Special Collections. For context, my talk will begin with a brief wayback (post-horse and carriage, pre-information superhighway) photo tour of exhibits in Stanford’s Main Library. I’ll describe the current exhibit program’s primary goals and address the question of where ideas for exhibits come from: who proposes them and how and why they are chosen, illustrated with examples. In the last portion of the program I’ll talk about the process of curating and producing a show and ways to approach designing a physical exhibit for display in library cases, offering what I hope will be helpful advice to any of you considering designing an exhibit of your own. Depending on space, the session will end with a hands-on exercise of making a simple caption support.
