Our featured speaker is Prof. Robert Zagaroli, Chair, Architectural Technology, who will use graphics to illustrate his talk on the architecture and history of “The Great Bridge” and Brooklyn in the late 1800s.

The Gilded Age, On Trial
(from the publisher) The Gilded Age brings primary documents and scholarly commentary together into a searchable collection that is the definitive electronic resource for students and scholars researching this important period in American history. In addition to an extensive selection of key treatises that reflect the social and cultural ferment of the late nineteenth century, The Gilded Age offers a wealth of rare materials, including songs, letters, photographs, cartoons, government documents, and ephemera. This primary content is enhanced by video interviews with scholars and numerous topical critical documentary essays. Covering such themes as race, labor, immigration, commerce, western expansion, and women’s suffrage, these essays illuminate the rapidly changing cultural landscape of America during the decades between the end of the Civil War and the election of Theodore Roosevelt.”
On trial through July 1, 2008. Access on campus only.
