Silicon Valley in 10 Objects

Have you ever wanted to curate a museum exhibition, or explore alternative ways of studying history, beyond the term paper or article? In this hands-on class, we will research and design a real museum exhibition, to be staged at the Silicon Valley Archives inside Green Library. Students will learn archival research methods, design and build exhibition cases and panels, the theory and practice of museum curation. Students will create individual projected, centered around the core theme of the class: the global history of information technology and Silicon Valley.
