Exhibits is the University of Dayton’s discovery publishing platform for showcasing our digital collections and research.

This faculty-selected exhibit features rare and near-priceless first editions, manuscripts, galley proofs, papyri and illustrations spanning the scholarly spectrum from philosophy to physics. The items in this exhibit archive are part of the collection of Stuart Rose, a Dayton-area businessman who has assembled one of the most accomplished collections of its kind in private hands.

A collection of medieval manuscripts from the Marian Library and University Archives. The collection features full codices and individual leaves.

For almost a century (1912-2001), a church with a distinctive green dome could be seen high on a hill overlooking Cincinnati’s Mill Creek Valley. This distinctive edifice was part of a complex originally known as Our Lady of the Woods, later Convent of the Good Shepherd, and then Girls’ Town of America, that also included school buildings, industrial training facilities, and housing for nuns and resident girls.
