Lecture Series

GSMT LECTURE SERIES

The Labor, Landmarks and Literature Lecture Series continues a tradition of public lectures that was established by The General Society in 1833. The Series brings people of diverse interest from the entire New York area into our Library space. Each year, a series of 12 lectures has traditionally covered the topics of labor, literature and landmarks.
