Here's a very special item from the @CUAarchives current exhibit lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsev…
Greetings to @ExeterCollegeOx and @JohnGarthWriter
In honor of #HobbitDay (Sept. 22), we're going on an adventure via our latest exhibit, “The Road Goes On: Exploring Tolkien’s Influence through Catholic University’s Special Collections and Rare Books.”
Learn more in our latest #ArchivistsNook blog: lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsev…
This exhibit - on display in @CUAlibraries during fall 2023 and available online - highlights items related to Tolkien and his works, books and materials that influenced him, and finally, a section on notable #CatholicU alumni and professors were inspired by his writings.
