Into the Stacks: The Objects That Connected Us
Date: Friday, September 18, 2026
Time: 7–9pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue
Long before texts, DMs, and group chats, there were postcards, telephones, radios, and countless other tools to help people share news, tell stories, and stay connected. For this Into the Stacks, join Mark Osterman, assistant director of digital experiences, and Nathaniel Sandler, director of Bookleggers Library, for a close look at objects from The Wolfsonian's collection that trace the changing ways we communicate. Guests are invited to share their own memories along the way, adding personal stories to a broader conversation about the objects that connect us.
$10, $5 for members and FIU faculty/students | Tickets
