W&M Bray School Lab Book Project
The Williamsburg Bray School, 1760-1774: A History Through Records, Reflections, and Rediscovery is the W&M Bray School Lab’s first book project. Edited by Maureen Elgersman Lee, director, and Nicole Brown, graduate assistant, the manuscript features twenty-six original essays of reflection on the history and legacies of the Williamsburg Bray School and its students as outlined by seven key archival documents. With the single largest proportion of essays written by Descendant Community members, The Williamsburg Bray School is the product of incredible community vision and collaboration. The book also contains various photos and other graphics, as well as messages from leaders, students, faculty, and staff at William & Mary and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
The Williamsburg Bray School, 1760-1774: A History Through Records, Reflections, and Rediscovery will be published by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in late 2024. The editors would like to extend special thanks to Catherine Whittenburg, Jody Macenka, and Katie Roy, our dedicated editorial and publishing team at The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
