Recovering Hidden
Local Histories
Poster Gallery & Exhibits
Student Presentations for Placing History course (NAS / HIST)
A poster gallery presenting student research into hidden aspects of local history in Hanover, NH and beyond. These exhibits explore Dartmouth's unfulfilled promise to Native American communities; the College's longheld fixation on Native symbolism; its ties to slavery and abolitionism; and how its students participated in broader social change and movements. Other projects explore the impact of the world on Dartmouth students and
their impact on the world. Student posters or "exhibits" will tell these stories through their own words, the words of eyewitnesses, images, maps, and data visualizations.
