The Book Bandit: rare books, libraries, and theft

Members of Creighton’s Honors Program (so read that a bunch of Neuroscience majors!) were involved with the construction of a website chronicling a unique saga for many of the top libraries in the world and involving Creighton and our rare book collection.

With the help of the Omaha FBI field office, students built a website telling the story of Stephen Blumberg who stole 19 tons of books from ~176 institutions. See all the details (and the hard work of our students) here: https://creightonarchives.omeka.net/exhibits/show/thebookbandit
