SAA'ers- All are welcome to attend a presentation by award winning author and journalist A'lelia Bundles, at the Women's Collections Roundtable (WCRT) meeting, Thursday, August 3rd, from 4:30-6:00pm (Monroe West Room). Her talk will precede the RT business meeting. A description of her informal talk follows: "Research Adventures from the Civil War to the Harlem Renaissance" A'Lelia Bundles, author of "On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker," currently is immersed in the 1920s and wakes up each morning to an office full of letters, newspaper clippings, audiotapes, books, photographs and memorabilia as she reconstructs the life of her great-grandmother for her new biography, JoyGoddess: The Fabulous A'Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance. For A'Lelia Bundles, there is nothing quite like the rush of opening a Hollinger box and discovering a juicy historical tidbit or inhaling the faint smell of mildew in the pages of an old journal as she learns about four generations of the women in her family. She looks forward to sharing research adventures that have taken her from Howard's Moorland- Spingarn Collection and Yale's Beinecke Collection to the Library of Congress and and the living rooms of several octogenarians and nonagenarians. Hope to see you there! ___________________________________________________ Kate Colligan, Co-chair WCRT Archivist, Archives Service Center University of Pittsburgh 7500 Thomas Blvd Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Phone: (412) 244-7074 Fax : (412) 244-7077 E-mail: [log in to unmask] http://www.library.pitt.edu/libraries/archives/archives.html _______________________________________________________________ Ellen D.
