EXHIBITSFlowerdew Hundred: Unearthing Virginia’s HistoryEntry LevelFeaturing archaeological artifacts from the University of Virginia’s Flowerdew Hundred Collection, this exhibit pres-ents material evidence of Virginia’s early inhabitants: Native American stone tools and pottery shards; arms and armor used to defend the new colony; refined, imported wares from Europe; and American-made goods, including items manu-factured by African Americans. The materials from U.Va.’s Special Collections also on display—images from 16th and 17th century maps and books—illustrate the importance of the historical record in the study of material culture.

Declaring Independence: Creating and Re-Creating America’s DocumentDeclaration of Independence Gallery, 1st FloorExplore Albert H. Small’s (Engr ‘46) unique collection of documents relating to the Declaration of Independence. The exhibition sheds light on not only the writing and sign-ing of the Declaration but also on its first printing, distribu-tion across the colonies and future impact on American history. The highlight of the exhibition is the Dunlap Broadside, the very first printing of the Declaration. There are only 25 known copies in existence. An accompanying documentary film is available for viewing in the gallery.

Bestsellers: Popular Fiction in AmericaEntry LevelWhat do Americans read and how have our reading tastes changed over the years? Bestsellers explores American reading habits from the earliest works of popular fiction in the late 18th century to today’s blockbusters. Chronicling the top-selling books reveals much about American cul-ture over time—its tastes, preoccupations and more. The exhibition also considers reading today, at this moment of unprecedented change in how books are published, purchased and read. Bestsellers features first editions

from the University Library’s Lillian Gary Taylor Collection of Popular American Fiction, displayed alongside a selec-tion of Mrs. Taylor’s handwritten collecting journals. Early bestseller lists, authors’ manuscript materials, scripts and photos from film adaptations and current bestsellers complement the items from the Taylor Collection.

Sound in Early America First-Floor Exhibit GalleryThis exhibit, curated by students from U.Va. Professor Bonnie Gordon’s Introduction to Graduate Studies in Critical and Comparative Studies in Music, features sound through a variety of sources, including accounts of encounters with Native American singing, wax cylinders, Confederate Valentines and Thomas Jefferson’s musical scrap paper. Images of dancers, early sheet music and bizarre musical instruments provide a visual backdrop to the soundscape that was every day America in the 18th and 19th centuries. The selections showcased in Sound in Early America are part of the rich, rare books, manuscripts and artifacts from the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library and the Music Library.
