SUMMARY:Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America
DESCRIPTION:Leila Philip\, professor of English at the College of the Holy Cross\, highlights how beavers played an oversized role in American history and how they can play an important role in its future.  Beaverland is a poignant personal narrative\, a startling portrait of the secretive world of the contemporary fur trade\, and an engrossing ecological and historical investigation of these heroic animals who\, once trapped to the point of extinction\, have returned to the landscape as one of the greatest conservation stories of the 20th century. \n \nProfessor Philip will be joined in conversation by Richard Primack\, Professor of Biology at Boston University\, whose research in conservation biology utilizes historical field notes from Henry David Thoreau and current observations to study how climate change affects the timing of seasonal biological events. \nRegister using the form below. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nBooks are available for sale and signing thanks to our partners at the Concord Bookshop.

SUMMARY:What Makes History? New Stories from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:What Makes History? New Stories from the Collection\n\n\n\n\nThe things we keep matter for the stories we tell. What objects do we choose to preserve\, and who is able to collect them? Why were they once valued\, and how can we continue to see them in new ways? \nThis special exhibition explores what it means to make history through object collecting\, preservation\, and storytelling. Visitors will see a variety of collections from the Museum’s holdings\, offering the rare opportunity to look closely at several kinds of a particular item. By displaying these eclectic collections together\, What Makes History encourages visitors to think about how and why these objects were saved so that we might view them decades and even centuries later. \nHighlights include a sampling of the Museum’s vast collection of fans from around the world\, beautifully painted fireplace bellows produced by free Black workers in Acton\, MA\, in the 19th century\, as well as chairs\, textiles\, card cases\, and timepieces. Many of these objects have never before been on view. \nWe invite you to come look closely at these remarkable items\, join us as we ask new questions\, and consider how we can continue to expand what makes history together. \nSupported by WBUR. \nBellow Tops\, Davis Bellows Factory\, mid-1840s\, Acton\, Ma.

SUMMARY:Pockets: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close
DESCRIPTION:44th Annual Mary Lesneski Memorial Lecture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nWho gets pockets\, and why?

Hannah Carlson\, fashion historian at the Rhode Island School of Design\, joins us for a conversation on the issues of gender politics\, security\, sexuality\, power\, and privilege tucked inside our pockets. Beginning 500 years ago when medieval tailors stitched the first pockets into men’s trousers\, Dr. Carlson introduces a range of social issues that we continue to wrestle with today. \nRegister using the form below. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nBooks are available for sale and signing thanks to our partners at the Concord Bookshop.
