History After Dark 2025

Step into the shadows of the past with our July "History After Dark" lecture, where we explore the haunting and poignant world of Victorian-era death photography. Michael Hudson, Director of Historic Smithfield will explain how mourning customs, spiritual beliefs, and early photographic technology combined to create this deeply personal — and often misunderstood — practice.
