September 2024 - January 2025
Gallery at the William R. Laurie University Archives and Special Collections
Exploring various objects from around the world, Traveling the Archives reveals the diversity of the collections housed in the Sewanee Archives. Spanning more than ten countries, four continents, and over 4,000 years of history, these artifacts demonstrate the University’s intercultural connections beyond the gates.
Including rarely displayed items drawn from the depths of the University’s vaults, this exhibition counters a commonly held narrative of Sewanee’s isolation on the Cumberland Plateau by highlighting the global intersections of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends.
Curated by Introduction to Museum Studies students, Easter 2024.
