On Thursday, November 19, the Bancroft Library will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1915 San Francisco Panama-Pacific International exhibition by inviting students and members of the public into the archives. Using the Historypin platform, students will attach rarely seen photographs of the world’s fair to a  historic map of the PPIE fairgrounds. 

The Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology is raising funds through October 15th to bring The Doctor, a gargantuan Egyptian coffin lid, to the public for the Museum’s grand re-opening in 2016. The 2,500 year-old stone coffin lid weighs three tons and is a particularly rare item in the Heart’s collections.
