[Socrates] Queens College Archives Tour and Volunteer Event!

[Lori A Wallach]

Happy Thursday, all!

Queens Memory is happy to invite you to a special Volunteers in the Vaults event at Queens College, hosted by the staff of the Rosenthal Library's Department of Special Collections and Archives. We will meet next Wednesday, March 6, in room 323, the library's main floor conference room, from 6 to 8 pm.



Highlighted treasures will include materials from the recently donated collection <https://www.qc.cuny.edu/communications/news_services/releases/Pages/welcome.aspx?ItemID=1995> of former Congressman Joe Crowley, including a copy of the Affordable Care Act with a personal note from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the pen she used to sign the legislation; documentation of Queens College student participation in 1964's historic Mississippi Freedom Summer, during which alum Andrew Goodman was murdered; correspondence between writer (and QC alum) Ann Birstein and many literary giants of the 20th century; and historic photos of the college itself.



Light refreshments will be served; attendees will also have the chance to discuss their ideas for Queens-related oral history projects and network with Queens Memory volunteers and staff. Faculty are welcome to come discuss ideas for class oral history projects.

We will meet in room 323, the library's main floor conference room. Non-Queens College attendees, please bring photo ID and sign in at the library's security desk. Queens Memory is jointly sponsored by the Queens Library and Queens College. Please email lori.wallach at qc.cuny.edu<mailto:lori.wallach at qc.cuny.edu> to RSVP or for more information.

Thanks, and hope to see some of you there!
