Barchives, a METRO Interest Group, had such a spirited response to its March event with Bronx Brewery that they’re going back for another round. Join Barchives on Saturday, April 5th for the second Bronx-based Barchives featuring the SUNY Maritime archives. Founded in 1874 as the New York Nautical School, SUNY Maritime is the oldest college of its kind in the United States. Archivist Taliesin (Taz) Gamache will share a variety of rare formats from the collections and a history of Maritime’s history in the Bronx.
SUNY Maritime College is celebrating its 150th anniversary of training mariners. In this Barchives, Taz will take you through some of the lesser-known treasures. From lantern slides to Big Bird, there are many surprises in Fort Schuyler!
