Sterling Memorial Library Exhibition Corridor

Sterling Memorial Library Exhibition Corridor hosts two exhibit opportunites each year supporting student research and Yale library collections. Topics and curators are selected by the Sterling Memorial Library Exhibition Committee from proposals submitted by prospective curators.

Exhibits may feature materials from any Yale University Library collection. The library provides funding and staff support for production. Materials requiring special display conditions or security may be presented in facsimile. 


Sterling Library Exhibition Corridor

Exhibits in the Exhibition Corridor are curated by students, based on their own research with materials from any Yale library collection.

  • In the fall, the Student Research at Yale University Library Exhibit features research by two student-curators (Yale undergraduate, graduate, or professional students) based on already completed research papers.  

  • In the spring, the Yale Library Senior Exhibition Fellowship is curated by one senior using all five exhibition cases to present a capstone project.
