The Virginia Fox Stern Center for the History of the Book in the Renaissance was established with a permanent endowment in 2017 to support lectures, fellowships, master classes, symposia, and publications related to the Sheridan Libraries' premodern and early modern rare book and manuscript collections. The center’s focus encompasses the historical reception of classical and medieval thought and the culture and influence of the Renaissance throughout the early modern period.
