SUMMARY:Weinstein Author Series – Karin Wulf | Lineage
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT\n\nJoin us for a free talk by author 
 Karin Wulf on her new book “Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of 
 Connection in Early America.” Written from deep research across 
 18th-century British America\, the book examines how we understand the role 
 of genealogy then\, and its impact now.\n\nGenealogy is everywhere — 
 online\, on screens and through organizations and conferences and more.  
 Technologies aside\, genealogy was everywhere in the 18th century\, too. 
 And while we may think of 18th-century Americans as largely the subject of 
 genealogy research\, they were active participants in what was a 
 foundational interest and practice in their own time. Family histories were 
 deeply meaningful for diverse early Americans\, baked into the very 
 structures of their society through law\, politics and religion.\n\nWulf is 
 the director and librarian of the John Carter Brown Library and professor 
 of history at Brown University. A historian of early America focused on 
 gender\, family and politics\, she writes widely for both public and 
 academic audiences about history\, the worlds of research and scholarship\, 
 and libraries and archives. She serves on a variety of non-profit boards\, 
 is involved in planning for the semiquincentennial in July 2026 and is a 
 vice-president of the American Historical Association.\n\nA book signing 
 will follow the program. This book will be available at the Virginia 
 Shop.\n\nThis is a free event\, but registration is required. Seating in 
 the Lecture Hall is available on a first come\, first served basis. Limited 
 free parking is available in the deck underneath the Library at 800 East 
 Broad Street. For more information\, contact 
 education@lva.virginia.gov.\n\nThis event is part of the Library’s 
 programming commemorating Virginia's role in the 250th anniversary of 
 American independence. It is also part of the Carole Weinstein Author 
 Series which supports the literary arts by bringing both new and well-known 
 authors to the Library of Virginia through online or in-person events. Free 
 and open to the public\, the series focuses on Virginia authors and 
 Virginia subjects across all genres.\n\n
