On Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m., the Friends of the Library will present a comprehensive look at the fun, weird and wonderful history of the history of museums, collectors and collecting habits.
This talk by Hetty Startup also invites you to think about your own collecting interests. Why do you collect certain things and not others? Is there a theme?
Audience members are highly encouraged to bring a sample of your collection (or items you’d like identified) with you to this program.

Educated in the UK and trained as an architectural historian, she has worked in the museum, higher education, and nonprofit fields with local cultural partners such as the Manchester Historic Association and the Currier Museum of Art. She has also written and lectured on modern architectural and design history with a special emphasis on Frank Lloyd Wright. She serves on two non-profit boards in NH, works with the NH Humanities Council in their Connections program, and also likes to garden and make watercolor and felted paintings.
