Sterling Memorial Library will offer a lecture and guided tours of the Babylonian and Near Eastern Collections as part of its 75th anniversary season of events.
On Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 1 p.m., Benjamin Foster, the William M. Laffan Professor of Assyriology and Babylonian Literature and curator of the Babylonian Collection, will speak on "Yale and the Babylonians." The lecture will be an exploration of the history of Yale's involvement with ancient Iraq. It will take place in the Sterling Memorial Library lecture hall.
The tours will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 13, at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The Babylonian Collection comprises the largest assemblage of ancient cuneiform inscriptions, including inscriptions on clay tablets, in the United States. The Near Eastern Collection is the oldest, richest and most current collection in U.S. universities.
