Ipswich Lives from the Archives

Heidi Horner, archivist at the Ipswich Public Library, will introduce us to special items from the Ipswich Public Library’s archival collections focused on local history.  She plans to present a mix of stories, letters, and objects related to people from Ipswich history that she has learned about through her work. Some, like Mary Conley and Ed Emberly, will likely be familiar to the audience, and some will be less-known. Heidi studied archives management and library science at Simmons University, and got her start in archives at the Cape Ann Museum and the Harvard University Archives. She has lived in Gloucester for 16 years and loves to research Virginia Lee Burton, the Folly Cove Designers, and other local creative people and collectives.
