Online Lecture – Travels in Utopia: Twenty Years of Collecting & Conserving

February 25, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Christian Goodwillie will relate some of his adventures tracking down rare materials from the Shakers, Israelite House of David, Koreshan Unity, and even the Beat writers!

Goodwillie is Director and Curator of Special Collections at the Burke Library of Hamilton College, and previously served as Hancock Shaker Village’s Curator of Collections for ten years.  Tasked with building and preserving the nation’s premier collection of communal materials and making them accessible, he has 20 years of stories about the joys (and a few sorrows) of collecting objects and archives of intentional communities.

The event is free; however, donations are appreciated.

Register at the Shaker Heritage Museum Shop or online at Eventbrite.
