Come Celebrate Archives Open House!

What do Abraham Lincoln, tricycle races, and costume design all have in common?

October is American Archives Month, so we're celebrating with button-making, coloring of old Spotlights (what's that you ask? come find out!) and tours of the College Archives. Stop by the second floor of the DeWitt Wallace Library between 11am and 1pm on Thursday, October 29th.

Everyone is welcome!
