The Rhode Island Historical Society continues its free Inside the Archives series Wednesday, September 28, 7 p.m. with a virtual panel hosted by the What Cheer Writers Club highlighting the varied collections of Rhode Island’s archives.
Archivists from the Rhode Island Historical Society, along with the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society, Rhode Island State Archives, Tomaquag Museum, and Wanderground Lesbian Archives/Library will showcase artifacts from our state’s activist movements and offer insights into their collections, including how local writers can access materials to support, inspire and substantiate their creative projects.
Registration is available at https://bit.ly/RIArchives
This event was made possible through a grant funded by the National Writing Project as part of the National Endowment for the Humanities’ American Rescue Plan: Humanities Grantmaking program, as well as the Rhode Island Historical Society’s Bicentennial Sponsor, Amica Insurance.
