Join Volunteer Mercedes (developed and researched by Mike), as she discusses Iridium satellite phones in the collection, and its use in historic explorations.
Volunteers are at the heart of our community. Both on-site and virtually, these passionate, generous and skilled individuals contribute to a Museum that fosters connection and curiosity. These virtual talks provide access to the Museum collection and are designed to inspire conversations and evoke memories.
