It's the Bouligny Lecture Series with Thomas E. Chavez this evening from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Historic New Orleans Collection (533 Royal)...the Francisco Bouligny Lecture, is an annual program examining the shared history between Spain and Louisiana.  Tonight's theme is “Following the Paper Trail: The Daily Life of a Spanish Colonial Document” with Alfred E. Lemmon, Director of the Williams Research Center at The Historic New Orleans Collection.  Tonight will explore the journey that the documents in “The Threads of Memory” would have taken through harsh frontier conditions and how they might have survived for four centuries. A fascinating history of fragile paper materials, it reveals the shipboard life that the colonists had to endure, the amazing varied landscapes that they had to travel and the perilous ocean journeys.  This lecture is FREE and open to the public.
