Virtual Class to Highlight Digital History

Stephanie Seal Walters, PhDLeesburg, VA (February 23, 2023) – Archeologist Kelly Arford-Horne will be at the Thomas Balch Library on Saturday, March 4 where she’ll discuss documenting artifacts from archaeological excavations.

In July 2021, Thomas Balch Library received a collection of between 350 to 500 ceramic fragments collected at the Sycolin Pottery site located just outside of Leesburg. Discovered in 2004, the site once hosted two kilns used in the production of redware and stoneware ceramic vessels by potters from the Garner and Duncan families of Loudoun County. Currently, Thomas Balch Library is working through a Loudoun County Library Foundation grant awarded to support cataloging the collection.

Participants will have the opportunity to catalog a unique piece of Loudoun County’s history during the event, which begins at 11 a.m. Pre-registration is required. Please call 703-737-7395, email balchlib@leesburgva.gov, or register online.
