The Founding Collection & Beyond Public Reception
Event Image
On October 9, 1969, RIT faculty and staff gathered at the ground floor of the School of Printing for a preview showing of the newly established Cary Graphic Arts Collection. The founding collection of this new library devoted to the art of printing and its related fields was the personal library of New York businessman Melbert B. Cary Jr. The Founding Collection & Beyond exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of the Cary Collection by spotlighting Cary’s founding library, while reflecting on how the collections have grown over five decades. Help celebrate the 50th anniversary at an open house and public reception, where you can print a commemorative broadside on the historic Kelmscott/Goudy printing press.
