EVENT DETAILS

Join Heather O’Donnell and Rebecca Romney of Honey & Wax Booksellers in conversation with Michael Ryan, vice president and director of New-York Historical’s Patricia D. Klingenstein Library. Book collecting, in the popular imagination, is an elite pursuit, framed by news of record-setting sales of Shakespeare Folios and Audubons. This presentation rethinks collecting as an activity open to anyone, surveying a range of creative and accessible approaches to everyday collecting: as autobiography, as outreach, as documentary, as activism.
