Fannie Barrier research

Student from a CMC class researching Fannie B. She came to archives, we talked about Fannie's life, historical sources etc. It also came up that the student is a history major, and might be interested in an internship this coming fall, researching the little black community of 19th century Brockport.

Athletics

Query from Athletics in response to a question they had from colleagues elsewhere about an early '70s Brockport athlete, Len Jankiewicz '73. Found some Stylus articles from back then, cropped etc. and sent on to them.

A busy winter!

This winter we have been regrouping after a busy fall that included another exciting antiques roadshow featuring Brockport grad Bob Meringola and his merry band of appraisers! We have a lot of possible projects we are considering, e.g. a road tour or walking tour, an escape room etc. The Friends did purchase another round of expensive textbooks to be placed on reserve in the library for this spring. Do stop by and visit the Little Library and bench the group placed by Alumni House this past fall! (Photo by Richard Black of the Brockport Community Museum.)
