Buttons of the Era
Behind every button is the impetus of its production. Someone, somewhere, was moved enough by an event or a belief to turn it into a logo and capture it on a circle encased in plastic. These relics from a different decade don't look that unlike buttons from modern times, but the events that led to their creations may or may not have been forgotten. This exhibit strives to tell stories that inspired these button -- Roll over the images, and when we have a backstory, it will reveal itself to you.
We will continue to update this exhibit as we get more information. If you happen to know anything about these buttons that should be included, please contact us.
