Exhibitions

The School of Theology Archives is proud to host exhibitions that highlight the varied holdings of our archival collections, artists within our community, in our area, and throughout the world.

The current exhibition showing on our website and in the STH Mary Elizabeth and Allen Moore Community Center is “Realities of the Reincorporation Process in Llano Grande, Dabeiba.” Visit the BU Theology Arts Gallery  to view these beautiful works of photography online. We are so very grateful for these works created as part of of a Religion and Conflict Transformation project by Susi Franco (STH ’19) as part of her independent study project.

Additionally, we are hosting an exhibition, “Along The Road To Accessibility: Boston University Disability History ”  on display in the STH Library’s main reading room, and online at: www.bu.edu/sthlibrary/along-the-road-to-accessibility-bu-disability-history-exhibition. We hope you enjoy and learn more about the positive people, places, and departments that help people with disabilities throughout the University beginning in 19th century through today.

Below, you will find a timeline of previous exhibitions hosted by the Archives, as well as a listing by year with links.
