Hello all, Please join us for this Archives Month event at the Library of Virginia (it will also feature a booksigning). Wednesday, October 24, 2007 Virginia Archives in Our Lives Time: 5:30 PM Place: Library of Virginia Lecture Hall Author Coy Barefoot will talk about his seven years of research on the award-winning The Corner: A History of Student Life at the University of Virginia. He will discuss the importance of archives and archivists: how they preserve histories, how they tell stories, and how history often begins with materials tucked away in a shoebox or in a high school yearbook. The Corner: A History of Student Life at the University of Virginia won the 2003 Nalle Prize for Outstanding History. Barefoot is director of communications and alumni relations for the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia. Just FYI . . .
