Women's History

This March, we're sharing objects from the women of Carnegie Science past and present.

Our 125th anniversary is January 29, 2027. To celebrate, we'll be sharing 125 objects, instruments, images, and specimens that define Carnegie Science’s history and influence. These artifacts spanning astronomy, Earth science, biology, and beyond tell the story of how curiosity-driven research has shaped modern science.
