March 11 — August 2008
The late Frank Keith Underbrink, who received a master's degree from Northwestern in 1957, taught history at Libertyville High School, in Libertyville, Illinois. Over several decades, he amassed a large and extremely impressive collection of French language books, the majority of which concern the history of the Second French Empire (1852-1870) and the Third French Republic (1870-1940). Mr. Underbrink generously bequeathed this collection to Northwestern University, and we are pleased to have added over 900 of these books to the Library. This exhibit presented samples of books from the Underbrink Gift, and invited patrons to browse our exceptional Library collections for more materials on the history of 19th and 20th century France.
