Behind the Scenes: A Foray into the Mass General Archives
Presented by: Lucy Ross, Mass General Archivist
Join us for a peek behind the scenes of the MGH Archives! MGH Archivist Lucy Ross will discuss the history of the MGH Archives & Special Collections and how it ties into over 200 years of MGH history.
With special focus on the unexpected quirks of the collections and the nitty gritty of day to day operations, we’ll be tackling topics from “what’s even the point of archives?” to “what is a mystery closet?” followed by a brief show and tell of selections from the collections.
