Just heard on the radio that the new Smithsonian African American history museum coming on the mall is looking for such donations.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Runaway Slave Ad





Hello! I have been contacted by a woman who has a runaway slave poster

ad, for which she is seeking a suitable repository. The ad has been

passed down in her family, originally came from Lexington, Ky. and she

would prefer to deposit it in a museum there (I assume an archive would

also be acceptable). I'd be delighted to get any offers, leads, or

suggestions from those of you more familiar with Kentucky institutions

than I am! Thanks!
