Created by student docent Emily Watson, this tour stop explores the new exhibit
The Hargrett Hours: Exploring Medieval Manuscripts on display in the Hargrett Gallery at the Special Collections Building through August 27, 2021.
The exhibit presents the insights UGA students gained while investigating medieval manuscripts in the collections of the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library during the past four years. The display includes original items from the collections, dating back centuries, as well as the findings from the students’ in-depth study of a Book of Hours - a handmade devotional book, popular in the Middle Ages before the advent of printing presses.
