About this event

In celebration of Women's History Month, meet museum librarians and view a selection of rarely-seen items from the Library’s rare book collection.

View a selection of rarely-seen original art and published items from the Library’s rare book collection and learn about the work and histories of women illustrators who played significant roles in the development of the natural sciences.

Presenters include Elizabeth McKinley, Cataloging and Metadata Librarian and Melissa Anderson, Library Collections Development and Preservation Specialist.

Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.

During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the Grainger Science Hub. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum’s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there’s a world of science to explore.

Visit the Science Hub on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.
