After spending half of last fall, and the whole of January on display, we're returning DuBose Heyward's original handwritten manuscript for "Porgy" to the vault this week. If you haven't seen it, look at the image directly above... not as satisfying as coming in to see the real thing, is it? Well, it's still out today, so hurry by.
Other things to come and see: John Avlon (more of a person than a thing, really) will be here to discuss his new book on political wingnuts (more things than persons, really), memorably entitled Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America. 7 PM, March 11th: tickets are selling briskly, so RSVP now. A week later on March 18th, we'll be hosting the New England Genealogical and Historical Society for a day of conferences. Registration is $30 (if postmarked before March 1, 2010); $40 (if postmarked after March 1, 2010). Contact NEHGS's Joshua Taylor, Director of Education and Programs by phone, 617-227-1226, or e-mail, jtaylor@nehgs.org, for more info.
