The McCune is a hands-on rare book collection. It contains a leaf from the Gutenberg Bible, 6 incunabula, a 1517 edition of Virgil with over 200 illustrations. This collection is a history of printing from the 15th-21st century with many famous printers represented. The unique thing about this collection is that we encourage people to actually sit down to read and examine the books and art. This means hands-on review of our items. We want individuals to feel 400 year old paper and binding and see the intricate details in some of the books. The McCune is entirely staffed by volunteers.
