Classes
Individual Class Sessions
The library welcomes visits by undergraduate and graduate classes from Yale and other institutions.
Members of the staff are available to work with faculty and teaching graduate students to develop and arrange special sessions to present materials on individual topics or in particular formats and to talk to students about the collection. Members of the library staff are happy to assist instructors in identification and selection of appropriate collection items for presentation in class.
Classes provide students with an opportunity for a hands-on introduction to eighteenth-century primary source materials.
Flexible teaching options:
- Instructor-led class sessions
- Guest-lecturer-led class sessions
- Librarian-led introduction to relevant Lewis Walpole Library collection materials
- Curator-led tours of the current exhibition
The classroom

We are also happy to arrange transportation for classes between New Haven and Farmington.
