🎃 🎃 Celebrate Halloween week with UCSC Special Collections and Archives! 🎃 🎃

Join us on Friday, 11/1 from 12-2pm to create not very spooky, minimally scary buttons using distinctive images from our digital collections. It's easy--no skills or experience required!

In honor of our current Bestiary exhibition, we're shining a spotlight on all of the beasts quietly crawling about our archival collections.

We hope to see you on the 3rd floor of McHenry!

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
