Dedication ceremony of the Kerck Kelsey Research Room in the Washburn Memorial Library.
Norlands lost a dear friend this spring, Albert (Kerck) Kelsey, who was an historian, an author, and a Washburn descendant. Kerck's $10,000 bequest inspired a team of volunteers led by Renee Bonin to renovate the basement of the Washburn Memorial Library where the primary source documents and the research books are housed. Kerck’s papers and work are among the collection and now have a prominent, updated place to live. Click below to watch the video of the ceremony.
