The Raab Collection invites prominent authors, historians, and thought leaders to curate a small exhibit of their favorite historical documents from our inventory
At Raab, we are often on the front line of historical discovery. Many of the pieces we sell are unpublished or were acquired directly from the descendants or heirs of historical figures and collectors, often unseen by the general public or the research community before. This offers each Guest Curator robust and interesting material to work with to create a mini themed ‘exhibit’ with annotations and notes written by the curator.
More information about the program, relaunched in 2024 in honor of the firm’s 35 anniversary, is available here.
