Don't worry if you missed out on our previous exhibition, HOWL: The Art and History of Pets! Curator of the show Sally Iverson compiled all the featured archival photos into a digital photo album, available for viewing now.

Quoted from the album, 'When we explore museum and library archives, we are invited to experience history up-close.'

Check out the album at the link in our bio and read adjoining MAH Blog post: Reflections on HOWL: The Art & History of Pets at the MAH.
