History and reports, 1977-1979

The Resource Center began as an exhibition resource center for the 1978 exhibit Africa in Antiquity: The Arts of Ancient Nubia and the Sudan. The center offered users books, pamphlets, and visual materials related to the exhibit. After the exhibit closed, the Resource Center was used by the Education department as a valuable tool for increasing access to collections, and information. The Center was the space for requesting pre-visit kits; the Center created thematic exhibitions on panels that travelled locally, slide lectures, and the Center rented video tapes on educational topics related to art and history.
