The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will take place at noon on Tuesday, July
18, 2006 in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby in the Library of
Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond.
 
John G. Deal, Donald W. Gunter, and Marianne E. Julienne, editors of the
Dictionary of Virginia Biography, will present a talk entitled, " The
Facts of Life: Creating a Biographical Reference Work of Notable
Virginians." The talk coincides with the publication of volume 3 of this
multivolume reference work, which provides biographies of Virginians who
made significant contributions to the history or culture of their
locality, state, or nation. The recently released third volume of the
DVB presents biographies ranging alphabetically from Allen Taylor
Caperton, a member of the Convention of 1850-1851, the Convention of
1861, and the Confederate States Senate, through Edward Dwight Daniels,
a Fairfax County agrarian reformer. A book signing will follow the talk.
