“Footnotes on Official History: Celebrating Dr Hocken’s Pamphlet Collection” - Donald Kerr

I am pleased to announce that the current exhibition “Footnotes on Official History: Celebrating Dr Hocken’s Pamphlet Collection” is now on-line at the below link:

http://library.otago.ac.nz/exhibitions/hocken_pamphlets/index.html

However, there is nothing better than the real thing, and you are encouraged to visit Special Collections, 1st floor, University Library, to view the exhibition, which not only marks Dr Hocken’s gift to the University 100 years ago (March 31, 1910), but also highlights a lesser known but highly used component of his collection: his pamphlets, over 2800 of them. And please encourage students and other colleagues to view it. The physical display runs until 7 May 2010.

Hours: 8.30 am to 5.00 pm; Monday to Friday Special Collections, de Beer Gallery, 1st Floor, Central University Library

For further information, please contact Donald Kerr, Special Collections Librarian Donald.kerr@otago.ac.nz>
