CANTON — The St. Lawrence County Historical Association will host the Patricia Carson Harrington brown Bag lunch featuring Tabitha Brown on Oct. 12 beginning at noon.

She will speak about her transcription project of North Country correspondence (ca. 1868-1871) titled My Own, My Ever-loving Arvilla Mills: A North Country Courtship.

This will be a virtual presentation.

Based on the courtship letters of Henry Clark of Richville and Arvilla Lucelia Mills of Rensselaer Falls, Brown reveals how personal correspondence brings history to life during the Victorian Era in St. Lawrence County, officials say.

Topics include tackling transcription, how personal correspondence brings history to life, and helpful resources for the researcher.

Brown won an award in North Country Research for this project while at SUNY Potsdam.

This is a free online presentation using Zoom.

RSVP by Saturday, October 9, at 4:00 p.m. by emailing events@slcha.org to receive the Zoom login information.

The Brown Bag Lunch Series is dedicated to the memory of Patricia Harrington Carson, who founded it during her 24 years as a SLCHA Trustee.

The SLCHA is open Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
