100 Years of Rare Book Collecting at Stanford

Did you know that Stanford has over 250,000 rare books and early manuscripts? A collection that started nearly a century ago with gifts from Albert M. Bender continues to grow today and is the subject of careful preservation and digitization efforts. Members of the Stanford community can stop by Special Collections at Green Library to see a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet, a 15th-century edition of Euclid, the first printed edition of Moby Dick, and more. "No matter what subject you're studying, there's probably something here for you," says Benjamin Albritton, rare books curator at Stanford University Libraries.
