Upcoming Events
Brown Media Archives invites you to a night of fear and fun with an outdoor screening of "House on Haunted Hill" (1958)! Join us on the dead center of the Special Collections front lawn to witness such trepidation and terror. Ghostly archival clips from the BMA collection may have, somehow, someway, creeped their way into the main fright....we mean feature!
Free door prizes and popcorn! Picnic blankets and lawn chairs encouraged. Doors open at 6:30pm, trickery starts at 7pm!
The Georgia Review and the Athenaeum present a reading with Julia Elliott and Joshua Garcia at the Athenaeum. The reading will be followed by a book sale and signing. Free and open to the public. The event is supported by the UGA English Department, the UGA Special Collections Library, and the UGA Institute for Women’s and Gender Studies.
Join the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame and the University of Georgia Press on Tuesday, November 10, at 6:00 pm for a talk with Jon Boorstin, author of The American: The Hidden History of Daniel J. Boorstin and His Twentieth Century. After the talk, attendees will enjoy a reception with light refreshments provided.
