Stories

We’ve curated a few digital exhibits using the museum’s institutional archive, which is filled with photographs, newsletters, event flyers, and exhibit catalogs. You’ll also see in these stories quotes from interviews we conducted in 2019 and 2020 with some of the people who helped grow our collection and build our museum. In this part of the exhibit, you can learn about a few of the many individuals and groups who have supported and interacted with the collection over the decades.
