Exhibit co-curator Susette Newberry describes the Pinax microcosmographicus, by Johann Remmelin, a 17th century anatomy book with more than 100 parts; and the 2011 artist book Body of Inquiry: A Triptych Opening to a Corporeal Codex, by Casey Gardner. | Cornell

In 1843, Charles Dickens gave his friend and literary rival William Thackeray this inscribed copy of his book A Christmas Carol, kept in our Rare and Manuscript Collections. This video features Lance Heidig, our dearly missed colleague who passed away in 2021. With his knowledge and passion, Lance helped connect our collections with communities at Cornell and beyond. This season, we remember and celebrate our friendships past and present. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones. | Cornell Univ
