Temporary Teaching Exhibition Timeline

Temporary Teaching Exhibitions are arranged by library staff for faculty and students to support curricular assignments. They are significantly shorter in duration (1 day to 1 month), are limited to a one case installation, and do not involve borrowing collections materials from other libraries. Generally, no conservation treatment or imaging is conducted prior to the exhibition installation. Exhibit preparation is completed using pre-made modular cradles and supports, which properly support the collections being displayed but do not prioritize aesthetic considerations. Use of labels is also minimal.
