Do you have questions about the project? Do you have a story about a visit to Van Vleck that you’d like to share with us as a part of our oral history project? Are you interested in writing an article about our work? Want to donate your time or funds to help us out? We’d love to hear from you.
You can reach us via email at underctskies@wesleyan.edu, or leave us a voicemail at (860) 740-2123. Bear in mind that we’re busy with our research and exhibition planning, so it may be a few days before we get back to you.
