Dear List Members, As you know, the Library of Virginia hosts various book talks and events that are announced here on VA-HIST. List members have sometimes asked if these talks are available in another form. We are please to announce that our first experiment with audiocasting of such talks is now available on the Library's Web site. Our inaugural audiocast is the January 25, 2007, talk by W. Fitzhugh Brundage, entitled "Commemorating Jamestown: A Clash of Race and Memory." Brundage is the William B. Umstead Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and he spoke on white and black historical memory using examples from the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition of 1907. You can access this lecture by clicking the link below. The presentation is also available as a text document on the same page. From the Library's main Web page, access the audiocast by clicking on "Spotlight" in the left-hand bar, selecting "Jamestown Events at the Library of Virginia," and then scrolling down to the listing for the Brundage talk and clicking on the audio presentation link. http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwedo/lvacasts/brundage/index.htm We hope to publish other talks in this manner as time, resources, and copyright permissions permit.
