A renewed sense of energy, purpose, and focus among the staff—at all levels and in all departments—is evident every day as we reach out to answer the need for civic participation and historical knowledge. Delivering the day-to-day, top-quality work for which we are known is our top priority.

Throughout the year, scholars moved in and out of the building, researching in the reading room, leading sem- 152 inars, participating in brown-bag lunch programs, and discussing a robust slate of fellowship applications.
