The organization of the exhibition From Domesticity to Modernity: What was Home Economics? was a collaborative effort between the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections and the Human Development 455 course Archival Research: Exploring the History of Home Economics. The students did extensive hands-on research in the university archives, investigating the intellectual history of home economics. Their reports and recommendations on visual materials were instrumental in generating this exhibition and Web site.
