The Historical Society of Washington, D.C. Hosts Lecture Celebrating the
Albert Small Collection (801 K St. NW)
“On Sunday, May 17th, 2009 from 2:00pm – 4:00pm, the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. highlights the Albert Small Collection as part of the ongoing HSW Lecture Series. The Albert Small Collection comprises rare late 18th to early 20th century maps and prints of Washington, D.C., collected by Albert Small. Six active researchers, including collection curator Dr. James Goode, will discuss the importance of private collectors in preserving primary historical resources. The program will include presentations on a survey of the Washington, D.C. site before it was officially selected by George Washington, and a map penciled by a British soldier while resting in Bladensburg. Discussion will center on these and other maps in the Small Collection, but will also include other unique documents and artifacts such as George Washington’s letters. Complimentary tea and coffee will be available while viewing maps. The event is free and open to the public and will be held on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 from 2:00pm – 3:30pm. The lecture is appropriate for ages 16 to adult. If you wish to RSVP for this event, please email [email protected].”
