What is an Online Exhibition at Yale?
Online exhibitions showcase Yale University Library collections in an organized fashion. Yale students, faculty and staff can create stand-alone online exhibitions highlighting their research supported by Yale collections, or as an optional companion to a physical exhibition that uses our library collections.
An online exhibition isn’t a place to drop your images. Each exhibition includes careful selection, curation, narration, and consideration of your audience. Email us if you have questions about whether your project fits this criteria.
