The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will be held at noon on Monday, 31
January, 2011 in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby of the
Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond. 

As a part of the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, the Library
of Virginia developed a unique exhibition on the commonwealth's path to
secession between the autumn of 1860 and the spring of 1861. Members of
the Union or Secession exhibition planning team will discuss the
challenges and successes of constructing an exhibition based on archival
collections and other contemporary primary sources to give voice to a
variety of perspectives about the crisis of 1861. Sponsored by
Middleburg Trust.

Speakers include Brent Tarter, Gregg Kimball, Elizabeth Klaczynski, Mari
Julienne, and Trenton Hizer.

There is free underground parking for Library patrons but please note
that space is limited, especially as the General Assembly is in session.
