About

The “Historical Object of the Month” is a regular feature by the faculty and staff of the University of Denver’s Special Collections and Archives.

Eagle Scout Barry Matchett shows Annita Andrick of the University of Denver Penrose Library Special Collections & Archives, a plat map of the University Park neighborhood of Denver, Colorado.

Our aim is to tell the stories of the people and places behind some of the objects in our collections; to give you a bit more insight into their history.
