Michigan Archives Nights at the Detroit Observatory feature compelling collections and selections from the holdings of the Bentley Historical Library, covering U-M history, state history, and more. Join us as archivists pull fascinating items out of the collections and share the stories behind them. For this Bentley Night, Greg Kinney, archivist for athletics, will present items covering the history of Homecoming, from its early origins to more recent forms — its traditions and offbeat moments in between. Tours of the Observatory will follow.
