This post provides a quick and behind the scenes update on the installation of the pending Hamilton exhibit at NSU. The exhibit opens at 2:00 on Sunday, 3/17 at the Cotilla Gallery at NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library. Pictures will be added as additional components of the exhibit get installed.

The proof of insurance on Hamilton’s personal legal text was secured for shipment. The national treasure (containing Hamilton’s signature, marginalia, and manacle) should be arriving today.

David Wells Roth’s Revolutionary War art (with a focus on patriot publisher Isaiah Thomas and the Sons of Liberty) has arrived and is being hung.

William Chrisant’s colonial maps and land grants are also arriving today.

The period newspapers (containing Hamilton’s Camillus essays), the newspaper founded by Hamilton (The New York Evening Post), legal treatises, and colonial currency have been placed in their cases.

The Acts of the First Congress, the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Tea Act of 1773 are being curated. Labels are being finalized.

A computer terminal is being added into the Cotilla Gallery to make the exhibit “interactive” using statutesandstories.com.

This exhibit will be epic. Wait for it. Awesome Wow.
