MacArthur "Genius" Grants Includes Rare Book Preservationist at UVA
It's not every day that one reads "genius" and "librarian" in the same sentence. But among the twenty-five 2005 MacArthur Fellows announced today (the so called "genius" awards) there is Terry Belanger, the rare book conservation officer at the University of Virginia. Among Mr. Belanger's achievements was founding the Rare Book School (RBS) at Columbia University, later moved to the University of Virginia, that has become a sought-after limited-enrollment summer program relating to the history and preservation of books and manuscripts.
