Archivist Update: Historic Halloween

In honor of Halloween, we pulled together a special Archivist Update featuring classic moments spanning the years 1939-1982, including a multiple exposure made by Eddie Adams featuring his daughter Susan, a congregation of little E.T’.s attempting to “phone home” and children from New York’s Little Italy playing Halloween games.
