Antique Study Classes Coming Soon

The Warren County Historical Society is pleased to announce "Sue Studebaker's Antique Study Classes on the Web".  When Sue Studebaker passed away a few years ago we inherited her complete archive of antique study slides and lectures. Archaeologist/Assistant Curator Jessica Thress  has been scanning the slides and editing the notes into a digital format so the classes can be presented on the web.  The first class is on ceramics, including Staffordshire pottery and will be available to members of the Warren County Historical Society via our website sometime in January. Jessica is hard at work on class number two - pewter which will be offered in February.  Each month Jessica will add another of Sue's wonderful antique study classes to our website. We will keep you posted when the first class goes live.

Archivist/Assistant Curator Lynley Dunham Culpepper is also working on a part of the Studebaker archive. Thanks to a generous grant from the Queen City Sampler Club, the complete archive of Sue Studebaker's extensive research on needlework samplers will be preserved and archived for study by needlework scholars. This is a large project which will take the better part of a year. Donations for this project are very welcome.
