Acquired by anonymous donors over many years, the People’s Collection was presented to the Spurlock as a gift to benefit the people of the United States. As described by the donors, "The collection has been assembled with the object of preserving widely shared experiences that were important in shaping a sense of community and nation in the United States." As this collection covers several topics that span both American and World history, we have selected to display objects addressing two particular topics: women’s suffrage and nineteenth century electoral campaigns.
