About the Event

An heirloom from a loved one, a keepsake from a first date, a souvenir from a road trip – the things we save say a lot about us and our lived experiences. As with these mementos, the objects and materials within Special Collections help to preserve the memories and experiences of the individuals represented in our collections.

In What They Saved: Souvenirs and Mementos in Special Collections, visitors will explore keepsakes from the collection, learning about the people who held onto them and the reasons why. From hats and handkerchiefs to dolls and dog tags, the mementos on view are imbued with personal meaning and connection while providing insights into histories, events, celebrations and celebrities of days gone by.

Location: Special Collections Gallery
