The Zipper Archives at the Colburn School contain over 20,000 artifacts from the remarkable lives of Herbert Zipper and Trudl Dubsky Zipper. Don’t miss this opportunity for an exclusive in-person viewing of the archives and a chance to hear from some of the key players in bringing the collection to Colburn.

The event includes an introduction to the collection and conversation with Paul Cummins, Herbert Zipper’s biographer and a longtime friend of the School and the Zipper family. It also includes an in-person viewing of the archival materials, hand-selected by archivist Brendan Morris.

Colburn recently launched a digital collection for the Zipper Archives, but this is a rare chance to see the materials up close and in-person. Be sure to RSVP, as space is limited.

Special thanks to the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Ann Moore for their support of the Zipper Archives.
