About the Exhibit

About Seymour Schulich

In 2017 Seymour Schulich approached the W.M. Keck Museum interested in donating over eighty historic stock certificates to the museum. These certificates date from the late 18th century to the early 20th century and tell the story about the American West and the people who helped build the Western United States.
