Be The Curator: Princeton 275

Join us for a hands-on journey through the history of Princeton University! The first session of this workshop will take participants through a curatorial tour of the Princeton 275 exhibition at Mudd Library, alongside a tactile exhibition of additional materials brought out from the University Archives for the day. At the conclusion of the first session, participants will choose a topic from a diverse list of options that they want to explore individually at the next session.

In the second session, participants will be given a selection of items around their topic from the University Archives to "be the curator" of an item to share with the group at the end of the workshop in an impromptu exhibition.

Meet the facilitator:
