Montgomery History—the County’s Rockville-based historical society—has been serving residents and the region through its research library, adult programs, educational activities, publications, exhibits and conferences since the organization was founded in 1944. At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4, the only organization addressing the entire scope of County history will reveal a bit about its work—and the County’s past—in the free online presentation “Uncovering Montgomery History’s Collections Gems.”
Sammie Hatton, Montgomery History’s collections manager, will lead the virtual look at some of the more than 10,000 objects within the organization’s collection. The items range from textiles and portraits to ceramics and medical devices.
The wide variety of items helps tell the story of life in Montgomery County throughout time. During her talk, Ms. Hatton, a former volunteer turned staff member, also will address her training and experience and help viewers understand what her work entails. She also will discuss a few of her favorite objects in the collection, some of which are on display and some others that remain protected in storage.
Montgomery History states it “is where the stories of who we are, rooted in where we have been, are collected, preserved and shared.”
