First Fridays:
A Series of Intellectually Stimulating Talks
at Elmer L. Andersen Library
The University of Minnesota Libraries invite you to explore and
discover new worlds of knowledge. On the first Friday of each month,
feed your mind with a thought-provoking talk on an engaging topic.
Each month's presentation is based on materials in the
University Libraries' Archives and Special Collections.
Featured presenters include archivists, curators, and
scholars from the University community and beyond.
Made possible by a generous gift in honor of Dr. Edward
B. Stanford by Governor and Mrs. Elmer L. Andersen.
