In observance of the UConn Women’s Center’s 50th Anniversary, the Jorgensen Gallery will present an array of artifacts from the M. Estelle Sprague Collection that span from 1820 through the early 21st century. Over the last several years, this collection has become a notable resource for the University of Connecticut and the State of Connecticut. The exhibit will highlight the changing silhouette of women’s dress from the early nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, as well as garments donated by women who were UConn administrators and alumnae, and a clothing donation that tells the story of a Connecticut family currently housed in UConn Library’s Archives & Special Collections.
