Not only had he collected a large number of Chinese ancient books, but he also cultivated close relationships with many Chinese scholars, including Hu Shih and Yang Lien-Sheng. At the open house, there will be items displayed regarding Gardner, his works, and his friendship with Chinese scholars. Some of these works will be on display to the public for the first time, including Gardner\u2019s family pictures, donated by his granddaughter, Professor Sarah Beckjord of Boston College, and some other materials recently discovered by East Asian Curator, Dr. Li Wang.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.brown.edu\/libnews\/ea-openhouse-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to read a summary of the open house, written by student Whitney Su &#8217;22.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates<\/strong>: October 19, 2018<br \/>\n<strong>Time<\/strong>:\u00a0 3 &#8211; 4:30 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Location<\/strong>: Gardner Room, Third Floor, <a href=\"https:\/\/brown.edu\/Facilities\/Facilities_Management\/maps\/index.php#building\/ROCKLIB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rockefeller Library, 10 Prospect\u00a0Street, Providence, RI<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In celebration of Family Weekend, the East Asian Collection will host an Open House on\u00a0Friday, October 19, 2018 from 3 &#8211; 4:30 p.m. in the Gardner Room.\u00a0Come see various publications, rich book art, and printing culture from three East Asian countries: China, Japan, and Korea.\u00a0 Located on the third floor of the Rockefeller Library, the <a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/eac-open-house\/\" class=\"more-link\">&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Event | East Asian Collection Open House<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,34,35,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exhibits-events","category-exhibits-events-special-collections","category-general-interest","category-special-collections"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/107"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10264\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
