For one night only, discover hidden treasures from the Othmer Library of Chemical History as we open our vaults in celebration of American Archives Month! This year’s theme is a journey along the timeline of twentieth-century science advertising. Join us as we relieve the golden days of Mad Men with vintage print ads for products like Saran wrap, plastics, and magnesium and watch technology and culture change through the decades. Create your own ad posters and taglines, pitch your ad campaign to a demanding client, and enjoy light refreshments while chatting with our archivists and librarians. You won’t want to miss this exclusive peek at the history of selling science – RSVP today!
