The William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan is a world-renowned repository for the study of early American history—holding artifacts including the Pennsylvania German Holstein family’s account and penmanship exercise book discussed in the previous episode of Cloister Talk. In this special roundtable discussion, we’ll go behind the scenes into the work of the Clements Library to preserve treasures of American history with members of the Library’s distinguished staff. We also discuss the staff members’ favorite objects in the collection, and how they interact with University of Michigan students and the general public.
