WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE MUST THEY HAVE BEEN?

The Willard Asylum for the Insane was founded in 1869 and closed in 1995. All who worked at the institution had a very warm and close relationship with the inmates whose cases and belongings they carefully preserved. Years later, these cases, 400 in number, and their contents were all photographed and carefully documented for posterity.

Familiarize yourself with the issue:

• Willard’s Asylum suitcase documentation https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/265363123/willard-asylum-suitcase-documentation
• Willard’s Suitcases – Unpacking the rest  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/265363123/willard-suitcases-unpacking-the-rest

Now, access the following site: http://www.willardsuitcases.com/  and read about the details of the project by clicking http://www.willardsuitcases.com/faq . Then click ‘cases’ and select a suitcase (http://willardsuitcases.photoshelter.com/gallery-list ). Examine the content and write about the owner. Who was he/she? What conclusions can we draw about this person from the contents of the case? Write a paragraph.
