Description

The Center for Campus History and the University Archives and Records Management department are partnering to host an open house that will feature artifacts and other items from UW–Madison’s 175-year history. Prominent materials from the UW Archives will be on display including materials from the Sifting and Reckoning exhibit (on view at the Chazen Museum of Art – Fall of 2022), the contents from Aldo Leopold’s wallet on the day he passed away, and so much more! If you missed the exhibit or would like to see some of the artifacts from UW’s long history up close and personal, stop by to meet and talk with Kacie Lucchini Butcher (Director of the Center for Campus History) and Katie Nash (University Archivist).
