Fancy some tea? Join us in Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation in Rush Rhees Library for short and informal community talks on a variety of rare objects from our collections. Tea and treats will follow every talk. 

For the inaugural event, PhD candidate Katelyn Getchel will discuss a 1938 patent for flocking by Rochester-based sportswear company Champion that changed the face of clothing manufacture. 

Interested in presenting an object from our collections at a future Spill the Tea? Contact RBSCP director Eric Ensley at eensley@library.rochester.edu.
