Hello all,
Please join us for this Archives Month event at the Library of Virginia
(it will also feature a booksigning).
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Virginia Archives in Our Lives
Time: 5:30 PM
Place: Library of Virginia Lecture Hall
Author Coy Barefoot will talk about his seven years of research on the
award-winning The Corner: A History of Student Life at the University of
Virginia. He will discuss the importance of archives and archivists: how
they preserve histories, how they tell stories, and how history often
begins with materials tucked away in a shoebox or in a high school
yearbook. The Corner: A History of Student Life at the University of
Virginia won the 2003 Nalle Prize for Outstanding History. Barefoot is
director of communications and alumni relations for the Sorensen
Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia.
