Archival Adventures: Hard Times Blues Collection

It's time for an adventure! Destination: Early Virginia Tech History. This week we’ll explore the Hard Times Blues Collection documenting the Dumas Theatre Troupe’s 2003 production of a play by Lucy Sweeney about Floyd “Hard Times” Meade. You can learn more about the collection in the finding aid here: https://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=oai/lib.vt.edu/repositories/2/resources/3426.oai_ead.xml

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.
