THE JOHN CARTER BROWN LIBRARY staff prepares public exhibitions of material selected from the collections. The Library’s newest exhibition, "The Florida Story" explores the history of the peninsula now known as the state of Florida. The Spanish first claimed the area, but French and British incursions into the area changed allegiancies. Visit this exhibition in the Reading Room from January 2013 to May 2013.

Recent exhibitions may also be visited virtually. The online version serves as a record of an exhibition and ensures that our audience will be able to view the treasures of the John Carter Brown Library from any place on earth with internet access.
