    A tip of the hat to Linda White for pointing this out!

    This website is a "finder" tool, to help you find exhibits on the web. It's hosted by the Smithsonian Institution Libraries.

    Here's a description taken from the site:

        This site features links to online exhibitions that have
        been created by libraries, archives, and historical
        societies, as well as to museum online exhibitions with
        a significant focus on library and archival materials.

        These online exhibitions draw their inspiration and
        content primarily from library and archival materials,
        including, for example: printed books, book illustrations,
        manuscripts, photographs, printed ephemera, posters,
        archival audio and video recordings, artist's books, and
        the book arts (engraving, marbling, and bookbinding, etc.).

        The online exhibitions in this guide are listed alphabetically
        by title. A keyword search engine for this site is currently
        under development, to facilitate access to individual
        exhibitions by subject, geographic location, and institution.

    Enjoy!
