Salem Witch Trials: Days of Judgment

As part of a citywide tercentenary memorial of the 300th anniversary of the Salem witch trials, the exhibition Days of Judgment sought to examine the trials in the context of political and social events which had created an atmosphere of crisis and impending doom in the Massachusetts colony in the final decades of the seventeenth century.
