Colleen Theisen, Syracuse University Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center’s chief curator of exhibitions, programs and education, is participating in the Folger Shakespeare Library’s virtual birth/death day event in honor of William Shakespeare, Thursday, April 23, 2020.

The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is being shared on Facebook and YouTube. Theisen is participating in the session titled “In the Collection: Staxpeditions,” from 2 to 3 p.m.  Folger librarian Greg Prickman will lead a panel discussion—including Theisen, Folger librarian Rachel Dankert, and Adam Hooks from the University of Iowa—that explores digital libraries and the fascinating and surprising materials they contain. A variety of other events also are part of the celebration.

Folger Shakespeare Library holds the world’s largest Shakespeare collection and welcomes millions of visitors online and on-site at its Washington, D.C., location.  The Folger is also home to major collections of other rare Renaissance books, manuscripts and works of art.
