Leesburg, VA (May 13, 2026) – Andrew Guerrero, an intern at Thomas Balch Library, will present a student talk on “Processing the Goose Creek Historic District Collection” on Tuesday, May 19,  beginning at 2:00 p.m. in the  lower-level meeting room at Thomas Balch Library.

The Goose Creek Historic District encompasses 10,000 acres surrounding the village of Lincoln and preserves a landscape rich in original Quaker architecture dating back to the 18th century.

Guerrero’s presentation will highlight key facets of his journey working with the Goose Creek Historic District Collection (from inventorying materials to labeling and foldering) while learning about the history of the district itself.

Photographs and scans from the collection will be featured in the presentation, accompanied with talks of intriguing content found during research such as tourism ephemera, important figures, and many, many, pages of signatures.

This project is part of the library’s ongoing commitment to processing archival collections in order to enhance public access and deepen community understanding of this important part of local history.

The event will be held in-person at the library (208 West Market Street, Leesburg). For more information, call 703-737-7195 or email balchlib@leesburgva.gov.
