With the delivery of a final project summary from her former assistants, Mrs. M. ————  is delighted to share with you thoughts on the their work in her cabinet last December:

Just last year this time, my seven eager young assistants were concluding research with materials from the collection. In my absence, I greatly enjoyed receiving correspondence regarding their findings – some of which I shared here in my log. At the end of their time studying in my cabinet, each scholar shared their rigorous research through unique displays for all visitors to see. Indeed, sharing the historical work that objects make possible is truly the culmination of all I have wanted for my cabinet. I am indebted to this group of creative minds. To hear them speak more in depth on their installations and discoveries, please enjoy this wonderful review!

Dr. Carter assigned each of the seven talented students in the course-Abby Rose Armstrong, Natachia Mavis Attewell, April Lynne Bina, Selena Erdman, Cameron Fontaine, Savannah Hill, and Kelsey Sophia Rozema-an item from Chipstone's collections to research and install in Mrs.
