Special Collections & Archives will be one of several Dayton area cultural institutions that will be featured on an upcoming episode of C-SPAN’s 2013 Cities Tour of BookTV & AmericanHistoryTV.
One of C-SPAN’s Local Content Vehicles arrived at the Dunbar Library on the morning of Tuesday, November 19:
This little red car brought C-SPAN’s Christy Hinton…and her video equipment!
Christy filmed a spread of materials from our world-renowned Wright Brothers Collection, while Dawne Dewey, Head of Special Collections & Archives, told stories about the Wright family and the collection.
The “Dayton” episode of the C-SPAN 2013 Cities Tour airs this weekend on BookTV (C-SPAN 2) on Saturday, December 21, at 12:00 noon, and on AmericanHistoryTV (C-SPAN 3) on Sunday, December 22, at 5:00 p.m. The Dayton episode will also be available online after the original air-date on the C-SPAN 2013 Cities Tour site.
