About this Event
Explore and interact with a curated selection of books, periodicals, posters, sketches, original art, and related ephemera that chronicle the history of written communications. From the invention of writing and medieval manuscripts to the advent of print and the proliferation of digital type, our collection illuminates humankind’s ongoing engagement with written expression. Please note that the tour focus will vary according to the expertise of the host.
This in-person tour will be hosted by Melissa Lee.
Melissa Lee, Docent (she/her), delights in learning and exploring alongside Archive guests to see where their curiosity leads. She is a graphic designer focusing on the needs of nonprofits and educational institutions and is particularly interested in improving accessibility. Before circling back to design, she painted sets for the theatre, roamed the South while building homes and doing disaster recovery work, and tried to convince skeptical middle school students that art and math are intertwined. She enjoys the outdoors and drawing letterforms onto vintage postcards for friends and family
