In February 2020, Patricia Anderson wrote to the Museum, offering to donate a set of objects and documents she had kept safe for 50 years. They were from her work as a young woman in Silicon Valley, where she worked as a “crystal puller” an operator of manufacturing equipment for making the key materials for semiconductor electronics. For me, as a curator, the materials that she offered were certainly interesting but if truth be told I was far, far more interested in Anderson herself. Why?
