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.
