All,
I am sharing information about the authors project by Historic Takoma. Books
collected will be made available in the Reading Room at 7328 Carroll Avenue and
an author profile will be posted to the Historic Takoma Website.
Historic Takoma has launched a project to collect and document the work ofThanks.
authors living in (or closely associated with) Takoma Park. Initially this
project focuses on collecting the publications of Takoma Authors and
developing short biographical profiles to introduce the authors to the
community. We currently have a small collection of books by local authors in
our Reading Room - but it's a tiny fraction of this author-rich community.
If you are a published author living in Takoma Park – or once lived in Takoma
Park or otherwise are closely associated with Takoma Park, Historic Takoma
has two requests: 1) A donation of your publication(s) to add to the
collection. See the current list of items in our collection; 2) We’d like to
know a little bit about you, in particular:- name and contact information
(strictly for our records, not for public distribution)- a short (2-4
paragraphs) background about you – career, the nature of your work, ties to
Takoma Park, etc.- if you have a web page or author site, the address of it-
any awards, recognitions, etc. about you and your work (with links).
If you have donations of publications and your biographical information to
provide (or have any questions or suggestions), please write to
archives@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the words “Takoma Authors” in the subject
line.
PS – if you’re not an author, but know of someone we should add to the list
please let Historic Takoma know. And if you have a publication of a Takoma
Author (especially from the past) to donate, they would be happily accept it.
