Exhibit: Richard McLeod Papers

View the current library exhibit highlighting the Richard McLeod Papers to learn more about one of Archives & Special Collections' newest acquisitions. The exhibit will be on display in Ezra Lehman Memorial Library's main gallery from March 16-27, 2015. A reception with light refreshments will be held from 3:00-5:00pm on March 16th to celebrate the opening of the exhibit.

The collection predominantly contains materials related to Richard McLeod's unfinished manuscript, Working With Their Hands: Artisans in Philadelphia 1800-1850. In this manuscript, McLeod, a former professor in the History Dept. at Shippensburg University from 1969-1996, sought to clarify the distinction between "artisans" and members of the "working class." The exhibit will highlight McLeod's unfinished work.
