Donated by the Canfora family to Kent State University Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives, the Alan Canfora May 4 Collection dedication will take place in the Harrick Garden Room on the first floor of University Library and will be followed by a reception.

During his lifelong effort to better understand what occurred on May 4, 1970, and its aftermath, Alan Canfora assembled the largest known private collection of May 4 documents and materials.

The dedication program will include remarks from Kent State President Diacon, Chic Canfora, and University Libraries leadership. Select items from the Alan Canfora May 4 Collection will be on exhibit.
