Unexpected Artifacts

By UCR SCUA Staff |

Over decades of care, UCR Special Collections & University Archives (SCUA) has accumulated materials the public (and even sometimes SCUA staff) may not expect to find in a library. 

From protest armbands to ballet shoes and family quilts to Cuban cigars, the selections on display in this exhibit demonstrate the rich diversity of materials available within our collections. Capturing unique moments, exchanges, and encounters, sometimes joyful, sometimes somber or strange, these materials represent aspects of our eclectic past and future.
