Preserving Lowell’s Legacy: A Journey into the Archives with Lauren Amundson

Go behind the scenes with Lowell Observatory’s archives team to discover how we preserve, catalog, and share more than 130 years of history—from rare artifacts to modern digitization techniques.

In this presentation, archives staff will give an overview of activities in the Putnam Collection Center, including acquisition of collections, preservation techniques, storage, and outreach. They’ll highlight processing and cataloging, digitization, exhibit creation, and access. Learn about how we care for Lowell’s 130+ years of history and enjoy seeing some of the cool items we have in the archives! *This talk is included with general admission*
