Everyone,
The Museum of the Confederacy, the University of South Carolina, and VCU's
Science, Technology, and Society Program are co-sponsoring a six-week
public (free) lecture series on the science and technology of the Civil War.
The lectures will cover such topics as the arms race for naval technology
during the war, advances in medical science, the use of the new technology
of photography during the war, science and technology as revealed in the
Museum of the Confederacy's collections, and it ends with a panel discussion
on how the largely agrarian Confederate states mobilized to supply the means
of modern warfare.
All lectures will be at the Musuem, 1201 E. Clay Street, in Richmond, from 6 to
7:30 p.m. The first lecture, Dr. John Coski on naval warfare, sets sail (heh,
heh) next Thursday, 11 August.
For more information, please check at the Museum of the Confederacy
website, at http://www.moc.org/site/PageServer?pagename=prg_lectures and

John Kneebone
