Archival Adventures: "Eat-It-All" Ice Cream Cone
Archival Adventures: "Eat-It-All" Ice Cream Cone
It's getting late in the summer and it's time to cool down with the "Eat-It-All" Ice Cream Cone Collection. This week we'll scoop up some ice cream history as we explore advertising displays from the 1940s/1950s and try to pin down the history of these tasty treats as they moved from the Maryland Cup company to the Sweetheart Cup Company and beyond. Learn more about this collection on the finding aid: https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/viblbv_repositories_2_resources_4533
Join our community collections archivist, Anthony Wright de Hernandez, for a livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including university history, NASA pioneers, architecture, science fiction, cooking, LGBTQ+ history, Black history, urban legends, and more. Recordings of previous streams are available on the Libraries' Youtube page.
