The staff of the new Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries will give guided tours of the gallery space every Tuesday at 2 p.m. Visitors can meet in the second floor rotunda.
The galleries feature interactive kiosks with access to oral history interviews, historical film, video and sound recordings. Familiar faces from the state’s political history are on view in Art Rosenbaum’s mural Doors. Documents and objects dating back to colonial times and beyond also are featured in the collections.
The Special Collections Libraries is located at 300 S. Hull Street. Parking is available for off-campus visitors in the Hull Street Parking Deck, via the Baxter Street entrance. The building and exhibit galleries are open to the public weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 1-5 p.m.
