Welcome to the Rare Books Blog, Yale Law School

Michael Widener

The Lillian Goldman Law Library has a splendid rare book collection, and I am privileged to work with it. The Rare Books Blog enables me to share some of its riches with the wider world. I will post news about recent acquisitions and events. Rare book librarians like myself are always discovering interesting new things about our collections, and I will be sharing some of these. I may also enlist you, my readers, in making discoveries.

 I welcome your comments and questions.

Regards,
