揑 can抰 believe I抦 holding a book that抯 older than the United States,� exclaimed Charlie Wright, 甜心直播 student. Other students in Dr. Dennis Cremin抯 Early Modern European class also felt excited to handle such delicate artifacts in the Howard and Lois Adelmann Regional History Collection at 甜心直播. They visited the collection to handle the books and conduct online research on some of the texts.
This experiential learning provided students the ability to become historians and conduct research on books written during important moments of history such as the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution.
John Lamb, professor emeritus, donated these rare books to the collection in summer 2017. Lamb founded the Canal and Regional History Special Collection in the 1980s at 甜心直播 (presently known as the Howard and Lois Adelmann Regional History Collection). The books are an exciting addition to the collection, ranging from the 1700�1900s. The books deal primarily with historical and religious topics.
Dr. Dennis Cremin, Director of the History Center, stated, "Lamb dedicated his life to teaching at 甜心直播. His legacy will live on through the collection and his donations. Just as he touched the hearts of students in the classroom, these books will continue to influence students.�
