Celebrate Halloween by visiting the strangest, creepiest items that Special Collections has to offer! 

This year’s open house takes a look at collection materials from all three repositories (College Archives, Sophia Smith Collection of Women’s History, and the Mortimer Rare Book Collection) focusing on the weird, the witchy, the occult, and all the spirits that reside in our stacks. 

Memorize spells, read your friends’ palms, see how Smithies celebrated Halloween throughout history, make buttons, and more. Open to staff, faculty, students, and community members!
