This is the first post of the Hall-Hoag blog. This blog will be updated about once a week for the next three years with the purpose to chronicle the three year CLIR grant awarded to Brown University in 2011, highlight specific items from The Gordon Hall and Grace Hoag Collection of Dissenting and Extremist Printed Propaganda and give richer context to researchers using the collection. The site will include audio/video testimonials as well as images from the collection. Any comments, suggestions or questions should be sent to Daniel Johnson (daniel_johnson_1@brown.edu).
