Confluence Member Event: Cavern + Archive Tour Elmer L. Anderson Library
Advertisement
Confluence Members are invited to our fall Confluence Event: Cavern and Archive Tour at Andersen Library on November 18th. This unique University of Minnesota Library is home to the University's Archives and Special Collections Department, and the evening will be co-led by Rebecca Toov, Collections Archivist at Andersen Library.
The event will start with a charcuterie spread and treats by the St Paul Cheese Shop, along with a selection of non-alcoholic beverages procured from Marigold. We will then have a private viewing of historical Weisman artifacts dating back to when WAM was the University Art Gallery, housed at Northrop. The evening will also include a true behind-the-scenes moment during a tour of Andersen Library’s enormous underground caverns, where they house their collection.
More about the Caverns! The two enormous caverns, each two stories high and the length of two football fields, lie below a 30-foot layer of limestone plus an additional 30 feet of topsoil, clay, and gravel. The solid limestone serves both as the structural roof of the caverns and the foundation for the Andersen Library building above. Read more here.
This event is FREE for all Confluence Members, RSVP required. Eligible Confluence Members will receive an invite four weeks in advance.
