This Blog brings Archivists, Museum Specialists, and Librarians around the Smithsonian to write about their new collections, current works in progress or whatever catches their eye. It is our goal to bring our readers collection highlights, unveil hidden collections as they become online, and relate to current events with historical artifacts, art work and research materials from the past. We encourage conversation, questions, and comments.
A very nice article. I was a very close friend of Ron Gabriel. One very minor correction--Ron died in June, 2009, not July. I received a letter from Rachel Robinson, Jackie's widow, which I read at Ron's funeral.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the correction. We'll correct it in our records.
