The #Mitsui legacy at Dartmouth began in 1915 with Takanaga Mitsui and a gift of friendship—a bronze temple bell.

Today, that legacy continues as Toru Matsui of Mitsui & Co. joins our Board, carrying forward more than a century of connection. ⤵️

#AskAnArchivist: One of the most surprising parts of working in a digital museum? How far we can reach. Even with a local focus, our visitors come from places as far as Spain and Germany! This shows how digital spaces connect communities beyond borders. #ArchivesMonth
