The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will be held at noon on Tuesday, April 17,
2012 in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby of the Library of
Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond. 

Researcher Erin J. Myers will present a lunch-time lecture to mark the
unveiling of the Beth Barnard Nickels Architectural Collection. This
collection contains countless architectural plans and drawings from
Richmond City and the surrounding counties from the 1940s through the
1960s. Accompanying the plans are years of personal and professional
correspondence which capture the spirit of the mid-twentieth century
building industry. The lecture will celebrate the architect's remarkable
life story, her prolific career in the architectural field, and her
contribution to the history of Virginia. 

There is free underground parking for Library patrons but please note
that space is limited. For more information on this and other programs
