Speaker Series: “Unseen St. Louis,” by Elizabeth Eikmann, PhD, Parkway UCC, Town & Country

When historians visit archives, they often find weird, surprising, and fun material that they rarely get to share with others…but that ends here! Dr. Eikmann shares the stories of a selection of images and objects from various St. Louis archives that reveal an unknown side of St. Louis history. The presentation is fun, upbeat, and conversational spanning from the nineteenth century to today, from newspapers and magazines to photography and phonograph records. Elizabeth Eikmann is an expert in St. Louis history, women’s history, and the history of photography.
