What can personal photographs, handwritten notes, or pop culture trinkets reveal about one of the twentieth century's most iconic women?

Join the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE) for a fascinating exploration of how collecting and preserving historical artifacts can deepen our understanding of the past.

Drawing from one of the nation's largest private collections of items related to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, public historian Steven Louis Brawley will share rare and intriguing pieces from his archives that offer an intimate glimpse into her life, influence, and enduring legacy. Discover the stories behind the objects and learn how personal artifacts help illuminate the human side of public figures.

Christopher J. Leahy, Professor of History at Keuka College, will moderate the program and lead a conversation with Brawley following his presentation. The program will conclude with an audience Q&A, offering participants an opportunity to engage directly with the speaker.
