2015 Symposium

The 2015 Symposium took place at a new location in Berkeley: the Anna Head Alumnae Hall three blocks from the UC Berkeley campus. The Hall is a newly renovated historical building and lent itself well to our presentations. It's larger size allowed us to host 300 people to the talks which generated the usual lively discussions and excitement among the Librarians, Special Collectors, and Exhibitors in attendance.
