Collection: University of Delaware Special Collections Online Exhibitions and Finding Aids
Description: For fifty-five years, Henry Morris's Bird & Bull Press has been devoted to the printing and publishing of fine press books. Henry Morris's career as a fine press printer began in 1958, when he sought an outlet for a newfound interest in making paper by hand. He introduced the name of his imprint, the Bird & Bull Press, with his second book in 1961. In keeping with the interests that first prompted Henry Morris to establish the Bird & Bull Press, the majority of Morris's books have been devoted to the art, craft, and history of printing and papermaking. Throughout his career Henry Morris has printed books which are renowned both for their aesthetic qualities and for the value of their textual content. Early this year, Henry Morris announced his retirement, bringing a close to the Bird & Bull Press. This exhibition celebrates Henry Morris's long and productive career. This exhibition was originally on display in the Special Collections main gallery on the second floor of Morris Library from August 20-December 13, 2013.

Description: From its very earliest days, the University of Delaware Library has benefitted from the generosity of both monetary gifts and donations of materials, including rare books and manuscripts. Many of Special Collections’ most unique items have been gifts, and without the munificence of donors, these items could not have been otherwise acquired. The exhibition features items which were donated in the past decade. The materials on display are organized to complement Special Collections’ core collecting areas of literature, the arts, history and Delawareana, and the history of science. This exhibition was originally on display in the Special Collections main gallery on the second floor of Morris Library from August 23-December 16, 2011.

Description: The year 2011 marks the four-hundredth anniversary of the printing of the King James Bible. Seven years in the making, the King James Bible was the product of six teams of approximately forty-seven translators drawn from Cambridge, Oxford and Westminster Abbey who represented some of the nation’s best scholarly minds. The volume in this exhibit is a copy of the second printing of the King James Bible. Work on this edition began in 1611 the logistics of printing a text of this size meant that the book was not finished until 1613. The large size of the volume was meant to make it suitable for use in public readings and sermons. It would once have resided on the lectern of an English congregation. This single case exhibition was originally on display in the Morris Library Information Room from May 16-June 30, 2011.

Description: The American Military Pocket Atlas was printed at the onset of the American Revolution to provide British officers with an accurate and portable atlas of all likely theaters of operation in the colonies. Officers would have carried the map into combat either in their pocket or in a holster. As originally issued, the maps would fold in and out of the bound volume, so as to allow for ease of transport conservation treatment has since required that they be removed from the volume. This single case exhibition was originally on display in the Morris Library Information Room from July 6-31, 2011.

Description: The year 2012 marks the two–hundredth anniversary of the War of 1812, which was fought between the United States of America and the British Empire from 1812 to 1815. War was declared in 1812 as a consequence of tensions between the two nations over international trade and American expansionism, although initial support for the war split sharply along party lines. Although sometimes regarded as American’s second war for independence, the conflict has largely faded from public memory, becoming one of America’s forgotten wars. The items on display document the war as experienced and perceived by civilian noncombatants, as seen in their personal correspondence and in the printed newspapers which provided them with updates on the progress of the war. This single case exhibition was originally on display in the Morris Library Information Room from May 1-31, 2012.
