The Americas Underground: Where our Past and Present Meet in the Dark March 31, 2015 March 31, 2015 The Americas Underground is a new exhibit in the library that explores the various ways in which caves, rockshelters, mines, and other uses of the ‘underground’ have been perceived across the Americas. Running through April 30, 2015, the exhibit demonstrates how caves have provided spaces for ritual and social practices throughout history, while practices such as archaeology, mining, caving, and tourism have emerged in different areas in different times and been slowly added to the repertoire.
