The Early Books Lecture Series was established at the University of Arizona by Dr. Albrecht Classen, University Distinguished Professor of German Studies. For nearly 20 years, University of Arizona scholars have invited the community to explore rare books, held by Special Collections, that provide primary resource materials for research, and are open for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to access.

The lectures are free, open to the public, and held in the Special Collections Conference Room.

Shakespeare’s First Folio: How Print and Facsimile Have Preserved His Plays

Frederick Kiefer (pictured left), and Thomas Willard (pictured right), will present a single large volume of Shakespeare's work that was coordinated in 1616 by two members in Shakepeare's acting company after his death in 1614.
