SUMMARY:Mill Talk: How to Fuel an Industrial Revolution—Coal and the Energy Economy of Boston\, 1820-1970
DESCRIPTION:Coal was the main fuel for industry\, utilities and domestic life in metropolitan Boston between roughly 1820 and 1970\, including the core years of the Industrial Revolutions. During this period\, coal accounted for the majority of Boston’s energy supply and provided energy to Boston’s homes\, factories\, foundries\, power plants\, shipyards and other operations. Coal also fed the city’s multiple gasworks\, which provided street lighting and domestic and industrial fuel\, and supplied power to both the water and sewage pumping stations. This heavy reliance on coal also created significant quality of life issues for Boston residents and resulted in one of the nation’s first smoke abatement laws. \nThomas Speight has twenty years’ experience in the environmental field as a consultant and regulator. He is a Massachusetts Licensed Site Professional and a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager and a member of the Society for Industrial Archaeology. He is a coauthor of “Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation: A Case Study” with Allen W. Hatheway. \nFree to the public but registration required.

SUMMARY:More than Money: The world of coin collecting
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we continue our Social Series with “More than Money: The world of coin collecting” with Neil Musante\, a collector and numismatic researcher and author of two books that have become standard references on the subject\, with a third coming soon. \nThis talk will explore various aspects of collecting\, including some of the history leading to the coins of the present day. We will also discuss what makes some of them worth so much money and why two coins of the same denomination\, with the same date and mintmark\, can be so different in value from each other. It is essential to understand how coins are graded and how grade determines value. Most importantly\, there will be plenty of time for questions. \nSeats are limited. Sign up by calling 781-893-9020 or emailing with your name\, phone number\, and the number of participants. \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the Waltham Cultural Council\, a local agency funded by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:The Gore Roll: A talk with Brenton Simons
DESCRIPTION:The Gore Roll of Arms\, the earliest known collection of heraldic arms in America\, was the work of Christopher Gore’s father\, John Gore (1718-1796). John Gore ran a paint shop in Boston and did fine decorative painting on coaches for the elite of Boston. The Gore Roll includes pen\, ink\, and watercolor arms for New England’s most prominent families\, including the Winthrops\, Saltonstalls\, Brattles\, and Winslows. Studied by many\, a copy was created by Isaac Child in 1847. The original remained in the possession of the Gore family until it was lost in 1865. Boston physician and heraldic scholar Dr. Harold Bowditch helped to secure and donate the original to the New England Historic Genealogical Society. This new publication brings together for the first time facsimiles of the original Gore Roll as well as the 1847 Child and 1926 Harold Bowditch copies. The publication is enriched by scholarly commentary\, including an introduction by D. Brenton Simons\, OBE. \nBrenton Simons is President Emeritus and Chief Stewardship Officer of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (AmericanAncestors.org). He is an author\, historian\, and genealogist. In this illustrated talk\, Brenton will tell the story of John Gore’s remarkable book\, its disappearance\, and rediscovery.
