Description
In this pilot episode of FROM THE ARCHIVES, join Fitchburg State University librarians Renée Fratantonio, Asher Jackson, and Olivia Rossetti in a conversation about the real women behind the names of the buildings across campus: Conlon, Russell, and Palmer. Using records from the Fitchburg State University Archives and Special Collections, the librarians will share the lives and legacies of these incredible women.
