The Library has been the beneficiary of many gifts over the years, including these rarities: photographer Milton Rogovin's "Man with Baby," from the series "Buffalo's Lower West Side," 1972; the first page of the Book of Genesis from the Giant Bible of Mainz (Biblia Latina), a gift of Lessing J. Rosenwald; a photo from the 1960s civil rights photograph collection of James E. Hinton; the manuscript of "Seven Anniversaries," Leonard Bernstein's glasses and the baton he used to conduct his final concert in 1980 (photo by Jim Higgins); and an illustration from the American Memory Web site of the Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Lincolniana (photo illustration by Andrea Dillon).
