Event Details

What makes something worth saving in an archive? Each person’s collection tells a different story—through photos, letters, music, or everyday objects. Stop by the lobby of the Eugene McDermott Library to share what you would preserve on our whiteboard prompts, and explore examples from Special Collections that show how personal items can become part of a larger history.

Location

Eugene McDermott Library (MC), Lobby
800 W. Campbell Road, Richardson, Texas 75080-3021
