Special Collections and University Archives is beyond thrilled to announce our acquisition of a collection of cover art from rare Mexican pulp mini-comics!

Special Collections is home to the Ernst Zinner Historic Astronomy Collection. This world-class collection contains some of the oldest and rarest titles in the library, including thirteen incunabula (books printed before 1501), the first edition of Nicolaus Copernicus’ seminal text, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (1543), and Tycho Brahe’s Astronomiae Instauratae Mechanica (1602).

In honor of Banned Books Week, Special Collections invites you to consider how dominant power structures have the ability to shape history and society by restricting access to information.
