Anne Jenner, Director of Archives and Special Collections, provided information about the three collections housed in the archives and the history of each collection. She also gave a great tour of a well-designed and efficient facility. The archives contains a reading room, processing area, and ample storage as well as wonderful space for exhibits. Anne is a bundle of information and energy which made the afternoon so much fun!
Following the meeting, a small group enjoyed a great Persian dinner together at
Noon O Kabab.
Thanks, Anne, for a great program and thanks to all who attended!
