• Explore an array of 19th-century copper specimens collected in their natural state in Sculptural Copper Saved from the Smelter.
• Delve into keepsakes from the University's collections to learn about the people who held onto them in What They Saved: Souvenirs and Mementos in Special Collections.

• Gain insight into how and why people need to stay civically engaged in between election days in The Stakes Are Too High: Voting, Civic Engagement and Political Participation.
• Find out how Lincoln unexpectedly emerged as a viable presidential candidate to lead the nation during a period of divisiveness in The Rail-Splitter Surprise: Abraham Lincoln and the Presidential Election of 1860.
