Postmarks and Paperbacks October Meeting
One-Time Events
Join staff from the Smithsonian National Postal Museum for a discussion of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Swiss student Victor Frankenstein uncovers the secret to bringing life to what is lifeless, and in assembling body parts to create a monster, ultimately sets the stage for his own destruction and that of everything that he loves when the monster is rejected by society. Told through letters, this story focuses on a young scientist who created life but was horrified by what he had made.
If you have any accessibility requirements to participate in the program, please email NPMprograms@si.edu and we will do everything we can to meet your needs.
A Zoom link will be emailed to participants prior to the program. Registration is required.

22nd Maynard Sundman Lecture - Astrophilately: Intersection of Space and Postal History
One-Time Events
For nearly one hundred years, human ambitions to reach and explore space have been paired with philatelic aspirations. This intersection of space and postal history – astrophilately - uses philatelic material related to space exploration, particularly covers and their postmarks linking the date and location of key events in aerospace history, to tell stories of humankind’s conquest of the heavens. Learn from astrophilatelist and NASA Solar System Ambassador David Ball about how personal stories, philately, and rockets intertwine.
