Sarah Horowitz is the Curator of Rare Books & Manuscripts and Head of Quaker & Special Collections. She supports research and teaching related to any areas of work with rare books and manuscripts. Sarah's research interests include primary source literacy, image/text interaction (especially in 19th century illustrated novels), assessment of student learning in special collections, and teaching with primary source materials. She recently served on a national committee to created guidelines for primary source literacy.

Sarah enjoys connecting students and researchers with materials. Before joining the Haverford College Libraries in 2014, she worked for six and a half years as a special collections librarian at Augustana College in Illinois, where she taught many classes with primary source materials, helped to coordinate the college’s sesquicentennial, and oversaw a renovation of the special collections space.

In her free time, Sarah enjoys dancing (mostly ballet), trivia, baking, knitting, cooking, exploring the Philadelphia area, and reading.
