Archives Exhibits
 
In addition to curating collections and providing access to them both physically and digitally, the Archives also creates various exhibits from its collections for engaging with the IMSA community, and it provides programmatic support to the larger community through its popular exhibits at the annual alumni reunion as well as short-term exhibits for special occasions and events.

In 2018, thanks to the generosity of the Hansen-Furnas Foundation, Archives was able to purchase a dedicated display case for sharing its archival collections with the IMSA community. Archives also has access to two other display cases, one for a semi-permanent Lederman display and the other for open storage, making more of the collections visible.

Here then follows a partial record of the Archives’ exhibits and displays.

Printing is not supported at the primary Gallery Thumbnail page. Please first navigate to a specific Image before printing.
