About Exhibits
The Caltech Archives and Special Collections regularly curates and hosts exhibitions on the history of Caltech research, the campus community, and other topics. We install some of these exhibitions in the Beckman Room, a gallery in the Beckman Institute, or the foyer outside it, and others on the first floor of Caltech Hall. Other exhibitions can be found online.

Becoming Caltech
Caltech Archives presents the exhibition “Becoming Caltech: Building a Research Community, 1910–1930” in the Beckman Room. It tells the story of Caltech’s early growth and reinvention through historical documents, objects, photographs, audio, and film.
Gone But Not Forgotten
On the first floor of the Caltech Hall, this exhibit is an extension of “Becoming Caltech.” It showcases physical objects as well as a digital display. It is currently open to the Caltech community only.
