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.

SUMMARY:Postponed: Diane Taraz: Factory maids—The lives of New England millworkers (Concert)
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: This concert has been postponed to a future date to be determined. \nIn the early 1800s\, the invention of the power loom disrupted the way fabric had been made for many centuries—and the lives of those who had made it. Diane explores the revolutionary changes that millwork brought to the lives of many people\, especially women\, who seized new opportunities for better pay and independence\, flocking to the mills to “weave by steam.” \nIn the first U.S. mills in Waltham and Lowell\, Yankee girls worked 12-hour days\, 6 days a week\, but still found time to publish a magazine. There were two songs in “The Lowell Offering\,” and Diane will sing them\, accompanied by her antique guitar which dates from the 1820s. She also plays lap dulcimer and wears the clothing worn by mill “operatives\,” as they were called. \nAs a descendant of immigrant millworkers on both sides of her family\, Diane is honored to tell their story through songs that capture both despair and hope for a better life.
