Please join us tomorrow at noon for an Archives Month Lecture, "Unraveling 
the Stories of the Past: Women as Archivists in 'Virginia's Historical 
Laboratory'"  

Time: Noon

Place: Library of Virginia, Conference Rooms A-B, 800 East Broad Street, 
Richmond

Library of Virginia Archivist Jennifer Davis McDaid will talk about the 
experiences of women students from Westhampton College who worked as 
archival apprentices in the Virginia State Library (now the Library of Virginia) 
from 1916 to 1924. State archivist Morgan P. Robinson trained the apprentices 
to be careful researchers and potential historians.  Their experiences, glimpsed 
in the Library's annual reports, the occasional letter and newspaper article, 
and Robinson's personal papers, provide us with an intriguing snapshot of a 
time when change was coming quickly for women, for Virginia, and for the 
archival profession.
