COMMUNITY DAY In February visitors Celebrated Black History Month with a free printmaking event at the Allen. Oberlin College’s YeoPress students helped an all-ages crowd create their own prints.

GUARDIAN OF THE COLLECTION Since 1996, Lucille Stiger has served as the Allen’s dedicated registrar, a role that involves meticulously tracking the location and condition of the museum’s vast collection. Here, Stiger examines the condition of artworks from the Ancient Ambulatory cases before carefully placing them into storage. This step was essential in preparing for the museum’s summer construction projects to ensure each piece remains well-preserved and ready for future display. Stiger’s attention to detail and commitment to the collection underscore her vital role in maintaining the integrity of the museum’s art. What a pleasure to return here after many years to see somany works that are old friends—in such vibrant newcompany. — Jeanne-MarieMusto (OC 1985) Noted in the Allen’s visitor book ZUBIN BHATTACHARYA
