Rasmuson Library 50 Objects Project

February 11, 2020

University Relations

Join the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library in celebrating its 50th anniversary this spring by helping choose its most precious and unique items for a special exhibit.

The library plans to highlight 50 exceptional objects — books, artworks, maps, historical photographs, recordings, projects, etc. — that demonstrate the extensive resources of the Rasmuson Library.

What items from the library have you seen or used that you think are extraordinary? What projects or resources would you like to champion and make others aware of? What objects tell the story of the library?

Nominations for the 50 Objects Project can be made online through Sunday, March 15. Anyone who has visited the Rasmuson Library over the past 50 years in welcome to participate. The selections will be revealed May 3 during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the library’s dedication.
