Unboxing the Unexpected: The Notable and the Infamous in U-M's Archives

IN PERSON REGISTRATION

Many think they know the stories of the famous and the infamous who have called U-M home, but campus archives reveal their hidden sides. And now writers are sharing insights into some of U-M’s most notable figures. Ted Kaczynski’s letters from Pr*son. Dr. Jack Kevorkian’s private papers. Robben Fleming’s traumatizing wartime trials.

Three writers of Michigan history will share these stories and explore a number of questions: How were these archives created? What do they reveal about these men? And how do we reconcile our public image of notable people with their hidden, personal selves?

Our panel of talented Wolverine Writers will include Kim Clarke, Senior Writer at the Bentley Historical Library; Deborah Holdship, editor of Michigan Today; and Katie Vloet, Editorial Manager of LSA Magazine.
