Many answers can be found in MIT's Institute Archives, keepers of MIT's administrative records, faculty papers, theses, and MIT publications dating back to the 1800s. With MIT's 150th anniversary approaching, this is a particularly timely workshop for MIT communicators.</span></font></span></blockquote><br><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>
