Description
Drawing on records Lehman Brothers donated to Baker Library in 2002 and 2008 (including over 1,200 deal books from 1925-1991), the exhibit traces the firm's evolution from an Alabama general store through its growth into a major investment bank and its 2008 collapse amid the subprime mortgage crisis.
