A guided “backstage” tour of the AHS Archives and research facility! This is your chance to get an up-close look at and hear the stories behind such treasures as historical clothing, newspapers from the 1880s, maps, and glass-plate negatives—or perhaps find your name in an old Aspen phone book. The tour includes insight into the artifact accessioning process, a viewing of the Aspen Illustrated News display in the Community Gallery, and access to the underground “vault” where much of the AHS Collection is stored. Don’t miss this fascinating tour offered once a month!
