Program Description
Event Details
Discover information on historical people, places, or things.
When historians visit the archive, they often find weird, surprising, and fun material that they rarely get to share with others…but that ends here!
This event shares the stories of a selection of images and objects from various St. Louis archives that reveal an unknown side of St. Louis history.
The presentation is fun, upbeat, and conversational spanning from the nineteenth century to today, from newspapers and magazines to photography and phonograph records.
