Archival Adventures: Union-Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft

Archival Adventures: Union-Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft

It's time for an adventure! This week we’re heading to the late 19th Century with a book of photographs from the Union-Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft Company (UEG), a German-based subsidiary of the US-based Thomson-Houston Electric Company. We’ll learn about this company and its role in history together! If you want some basic info before the show, check out the finding aid: bit.ly/Ms1987-037.

Join our community collections archivist, Anthony Wright de Hernandez, for a livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including university history, NASA pioneers, architecture, science fiction, cooking, LGBTQ+ history, Black history, urban legends, and more. Recordings of previous streams are available on the Libaries' Youtube page.

If you are an individual with a disability and desire an accommodation, welcome! Please email library-event-accessibility@groups.office365.vt.edu at least 10 days prior to the event.
