First Fridays: Matters of the Heart

A white man in a white lab coat looks at an x-ray of a chest while pointing at the heart.Let’s talk about love! From love letters to break up letters, the course of true love never did run smooth. Join us for the 2024-2025 season of First Fridays as we share matters of the heart from collections across Archives and Special Collections. The March program features presentations from the University of Minnesota Archives and the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies.

Light lunch at 11:30 a.m. Presentations begin at noon. A tour of the archival caverns will take place after the event concludes. ASL interpreters will be present for all First Fridays events.

Save the date! Event registration will open on Jan. 2.
