December Tuesday Talk— DAR Archives

Speaker: Amanda Fulcher Vasquez, Archivist and Digital Asset Specialist NSDAR.

Pins, Ribbons, and Emulsion, Oh My! Taking a look at the history of photography through the lens of DAR’s historic photographs

A picture is always worth a thousand words. Changes and advancements in photography have allowed us to document and leave behind evidence of events, people, places, or things. These images will live on in history, as an extension of human memory. They give an onlooker a visual perception that is accurate and exceeds good description. Using photographs in the NSDAR Archives and using early DAR history as a guide, we can see the way photography has changed, and maybe help historians better understand and examine the past.

The event is free, but pre-registration is requested. This event is taking place in-person but will also be streaming online.
