Join the Archivists Round Table for a special behind-the-scenes tour of the historic  King Manor Museum, the former home of Founding Father Rufus King, anti-slavery advocate, framer of the United States Constitution, Ambassador, and early U.S. Senator. Learn how this 18th-century house museum balances preservation with accessibility, and how it interprets early American history through inclusive programming and collections.

The tour will include a discussion of King Manor’s archival holdings (and plans for their future!), ongoing conservation challenges, and the museum’s role in serving the vibrant and diverse community of southeast Queens. Attendees will also get a close look at select collection items not normally on display. 

Afterwards, interested attendees can get lunch down the street at a local restaurant with other ART Members and archive enthusiasts [Individuals are expected to pay for their own lunch]. 


This is an in-person event limited to 20 attendees. Registration is non-transferable. Please note that you MUST reserve a ticket in advance online in order to attend this event.

In the occasion that the event is sold out, we highly recommend joining the waitlist. An ART staff member will reach out to you if a spot becomes available. Unless you've been given permission, please do not show up at the event without registering.
