Capturing the Stars: The Untold History of Women at the Yerkes Observatory
The physical exhibition ran September-December 2023 at the University of Chicago Library.
Student curated digital cases
These digital cases provide additional information on items, topics, and individuals who were featured in the exhibit, “Capturing the Stars: The Untold History of Women at Yerkes Observatory, 1900–1930.”
They were curated by undergraduate research assistants, college summer institute participants, and students from the “Capturing the Stars” course who were involved with the research group from January through September 2023. They are the result of extensive independent research and a testament to both the initiative and ingenuity of all curators.
