"Encyclopedia Live"

The "Encyclopedia Live" history talk series features the authors of encyclopedia articles discussing the subjects of their work. The inspiration for the series comes from the more than 195 articles written by more than 70 local contributors. The annual talks are held in-person at the Centre Furnace Mansion, unless otherwise noted.
