Our Curator of Special Collections has a very nice side-gig.
Go Sallie, go!

It was a productive day at the Historian’s Office as Sallie Sypher, Deputy Historian, helped Fionn and Teagan, our summer interns, process political pins from the David D. Bruen Collection. Decades of campaign stories - the good, bad, and ugly! - all came to light. Sallie’s been a witness to ‘em all!

Shout out to Harborside Rope Works, for making beautiful art out of old rope. He even cleans and rinses and sun dries it first.

Our drift rope carries a certain “marine patina”, which we wouldn’t think of removing, lest we damage its inherent drift-value. This unique humilis aestus odore necessitates exhibition in sealed plastic cases, bags or outdoor installations.

12x12in Framed under solid glass and handmade using recycled fishing and lobster trap rope. Makes the perfect coastal gift for your friends and family! Whitewashed wood frame with mounting hardware attached. A Harborside Original!
