the stephan archives presents Canceled Culture: First Day Covers and Historic American Stamps

The stephan archives in the bunn library 

Stop by the Stephan Archives to view their latest exhibit, "Canceled Culture: First Day Covers and Historic American Stamps". One year before the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the Continental Congress, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was appointed the first Postmaster General for the Thirteen Colonies. Through deliberate actions and planning, Franklin helped to form the structural basis of what would eventually become the United States Postal Service. In 1847, both he and George Washington (1732-1799) were posthumously honored by having their images appear on the country's first postage stamps.

Unbeknownst to postal officials at that time, postage stamps would become an essential component of the mail system that documented and displayed numerous facets of the country’s history and culture. And, consequently, stamps would also become collectible items coveted, studied, and exhibited by The Lawrenceville School's Stamp Club.

As part of the National 250th Anniversary Celebration in 2026, The Stephan Archives is unveiling the second part of a two-part exhibit on Alumni Weekend 2025 that will extend through 2026. Highlighting the School's Stamp Club and American history, ninety-seven First Day Covers courtesy of the Mason Family along with selected stamps from the collection of Robert N. Standish, Jr. '44 GP '13 will be displayed to the community in The Stephan Archives’ Reading Room.

 Ambrecht Room, Noyes History Center 

Join History teacher Regan Kerney H'49 '95 '98 '99 '03 '11 to learn how Abraham Lincoln’s politics evolved with the Civil War.  Lincoln began his presidency firmly resisting calls for emancipation, but reconsidered the idea as circumstances changed.  The road to the Emancipation Proclamation followed a path that transformed what the war meant, what the nation means, and our memory of who Lincoln was.  This class, based on a popular elective course for seniors, traces the journey by using a dozen key documents that illuminate the road from status quo ante to “a new birth of freedom.”
