From September 2020 to April 2021, the Peabody Essex Museum put extremely rare and original documents from the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 in its care on display. It was the first time the invaluable collection was exhibited in public in nearly three decades.
Our panelist, Will Dowd, toured the exhibition with the PEM's head librarian of the Phillips Library, Dan Lipcan, whom he interviewed along the way.
Artifacts, in part, owned by people involved in the 1692 episode flanked the tenuous documents. The show featured iconic 19th century paintings by the American artist Tompkins Harrison Matteson: The “Trial of George Jacobs of Salem for Witchcraft” and "The Examination of a Witch."
A centerpiece among the documents: The return of Chief Justice William Stoughton's carried-out warrant, confirming the execution of Bridget Bishop. She was the infamous trials' first victim, hanged in June of 1692.
