Art in the Genealogy Center shared at February meeting Philip Hanna presented the program 'Art in the Genealogy Center' at the February Genealogy Society Meeting. Many artists and examples of their works were included in his slide presentation, some were well known and others were a surprise. Hanna shared numerous slides to explain how his Art in the Genealogy Center began: "My interest started with some works here that were the cover art for books by Janice Holt Giles - They came from the Trabue House, before that, from the Giles estate, there is one more there that was the art for one of her books, one of her early pioneer books, I believe it is The Kentuckians. "Hannah is an unforgettable character -- tall, physically and psychologically strong, the epitome of frontier womanhood -- brought to life by a woman who knew and loved the Kentucky people and setting about which she wrote.
