The books at Chetham’s Library reveal tantalising traces of their past lives: dried flowers between pages, mutilated illustrations, strange bindings, and more.
Others include records of people nearly lost to history.
Join PhD researcher Finch Collins at this Inside The Library, for a showcase of books that tell of waylaid items, surprising finds, and glimpses of past people’s lives—all preserved at Chetham’s Library.
Suitable for ages 18+
