Archives Month: Staff Favorites from the Archives

Curated by Jennifer Ottinger

This Archives Month is a staff “show and tell.” Although October is officially Archives Month, we’re celebrating a little early with an exhibit of books and objects our staff couldn’t resist calling their favorites.

On Exhibit October 20th through November 14th

Bring Out Your Dead: Death, Art, and the Macabre in the Archives

Curated by Jennifer Ottinger

Our October exhibit, Bring Out Your Dead: Death, Art, and the Macabre in the Archives, features E.-H. Langlois’s Essai Historique Philosophique et Pittoresque sur les Danses des Morts (1852) from the Wildenstein Plattner Library Collection. Langlois’ work traces Europe’s centuries-long obsession with the Danse Macabre—where skeletons mingled with popes and peasants, showing that in the end, death comes for everyone.
