2009年1月27日,MHS图书馆出现了名人目击事件. 《利记手机官网》杂志的莎拉·杰西卡·帕克 & the City fame, visited our reading room 和 worked with material from our manuscript collections. We’ve kept it under wraps for more than a year waiting for the right moment to tell the world, but now we want everyone to know so that they can share in our celebrity experience!
Sarah Jessica visited as part of filming for the inaugural episode of NBC’s new series “你以为你是谁?“这个项目, 改编自英国同名热门纪录片的美国电影, 跟随知名名人,因为他们的工作,发现他们的谚语根, 研究 their ancestors in an attempt to learn more about their families 和 themselves.
During her visit Sarah Jessica registered as a researcher 和 followed all the rules of the reading room – although we did allow the film crew to follow her in, 这远远超出了我们的标准. 我和SJP一起在目录室工作了一段时间, helping her identify 和 call for the material she wanted to see 和 then brought the material to her in the reading room. 我们不能告诉你她看了哪些文件, 不过,你需要收听节目才能找到答案!
Sarah Jessica was an eager 和 interested researcher as well as a gracious celebrity guest. Naturally she was interested in seeing the material we held that was connected to her ancestor, but she also asked questions about the size 和 scope of our collections 和 how we preserve our documents. 拍摄结束后, she stopped in our lobby to chat with a couple of students from Emerson College that had also been conducting research 在这里 和 posed for photographs with them. She then stayed on into the evening for a tour of the MHS building 和 a chance to see some of our treasures. While looking at selected materials from the 亚当斯家族 Papers we discovered that March 25, 托马斯·杰斐逊给约翰·亚当斯写最后一封信的日期, 是SJP的生日(只差了大约140年). 和 she enthusiastically agreed when a staff member pointed out that our portrait of Lieutenant Frederick Hedge Webster, 1864年在马萨诸塞州第54团服役时牺牲的, 与她的丈夫马修·布罗德里克惊人地相似, 谁扮演罗伯特·古尔德·肖上校, 也是第54届, 在电影《利记APP官网手机版》中.”
“你以为你是谁??在NBC首播 2010年3月5日,星期五 晚上8点.m. 莎拉·杰西卡·帕克那集. 的 MHS is just one of the many stops Parker makes on her journey of genealogical discovery, so be sure to tune in to learn her story 和 to catch the MHS library 和 reading room staff during their 15 minutes of fame.
