History and Preservation

UPDATE:

The spring issue of The Chronicle has been revised to include a wonderful article from New Brunswick Free Public Library Archive that was inadvertently omitted in the first edition. 

The revised version of The Chronicle can be found here: http://njlamembers.org/sites/njlamembers.org/files/Chronicle%20Spring%20...

Enjoy!

Hello All,

UPCOMING PROGRAM : MAY 3, 2022: The Historical and Cultural Context of the War in Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been at least as much about history as about geopolitics. This war doesn't just have historical causes; it is a war about the historical narrative itself—one that goes back many centuries. This talk will present an introduction to this history, along with an overview of Ukraine's diverse cultural and linguistic landscape. Speaker: Michael Andrec.
