Dr. Jamie Brummitt explores how in the 19th century people came to cherish relics of lost loved ones. Granite Staters collected relics from deathbeds, stole relics from tombs, made relics in schools, and purchased relics in the marketplace. Locks of hair, blood, bones, portraits, daguerreotypes, postmortem photographs, memoirs, deathbed letters, Bibles, clothes, embroidered and painted mourning pieces, and a plethora of other objects that had been touched, used, or owned by the dead became a form of relics. This program, conducted via Zoom, is free for everyone. Registration is required through the Programs & Events Calendar on the Society’s website at nhhistory.org.
