Memories of the Mask Collection

I really appreciate this article. I’m not exactly sure how, but my student employment at Firestone Library in the mid-1970s (probably for about $5 an hour) led to my participation in the cataloging and archiving of these masks. I still remember the eerie and honored feeling of holding Abraham Lincoln’s mask in my hands.

Thanks for confirming that this slightly macabre memory was not simply a dream.
