Posted by Gilder Lehrman Staff on Thursday, 07/28/2022
Inside the Vault: Highlights from the Gilder Lehrman Collection is an online program that explores unique primary sources from the Gilder Lehrman Collection. From iconic historical treasures, such as the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Emancipation Proclamation, to personal letters that reveal the contributions of ordinary American citizens, each session investigates primary sources and features a discussion with expert historians and curators about the documents’ background, impact, and potential use in the classroom.
Join us on August 4, 2022, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. ET (4:00 to 5:00 p.m. PT) when our curators will discuss campaign materials from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s second presidential election with Barbara Perry, the Gerald L. Baliles Professor and Director of Presidential Studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. The handbills featured in this program showcase the successes of Roosevelt’s New Deal initiatives and how those successes were used in Roosevelt’s presidential campaign.
