THE IMPOSSIBLE PRESIDENCY: REFLECTIONS ON PRESIDENTIAL GREATNESS AND THE 2008 ELECTION

A Talk by Professor Frank Bryan will be presented by the Starksboro Historical Society and Starksboro Public Library, at the Starksboro Public Library on Route 116 in the village center. Presidential historians like to play the "ranking the presidents game." Professor Bryan will review the consensus "Great Presidents" and then discuss the presidents elected in our lifetimes with a view to answer the question: Have we had great presidents since the 1950's and will the current election produce one? Frank Bryan, a Starksboro resident, is an author and political scientist at the University of Vermont and is known throughout New England both as a humorist and a serious scholar. He's captured the attention of major news networks and publications like Newsweek and the New York Times and is recognized as "one of New England's leading humorists" by Yankee Magazine.

We were successful in our application to become a part of the Building Accomplished Museums (BAM) Collections Stewardship Program.

SHS members have the opportunity to participate in a series of four workshops that will educate us about collecting and preserving historical artifacts.

The first workshop is "Assessing & Planning for Collections". At this workshop participants will be introduced to different planning processes used by museums to assist them with caring for and utilizing their collections. Instructional topics will include: why we need plans & policies, the process of creating a plan, a review of the various types of plans & policies, and how to implement policies & procedures. Time will be provided during the workshop for group brainstorming and case studies, and the organizations participating will make introductions at the beginning of the session.

This is a tremendous opportunity for SHS members to learn about collecting, preserving, and organizing our collection.
