James O. Hall Research Center

[L Verge]

I am sad to announce that Surratt House Museum and its James O. Hall Research Center is without our librarian at the present time. Some of you have dealt with Sandra Walia over the past ten years, and we have received nothing but praise about her professionalism and kindness.

Sandra was just what we needed at our library. She had retired from our county's school system as a librarian, holds a Master's degree in Library Sciences, and is an avid Lincoln collector and very knowledgeable on the assassination. She had served for years as a docent at the museum.

She has now decided to have a personal life for awhile! Other staff members will be filling the gap of working with researchers both on-site and from afar until we can go through the process of advertising, hiring, and initiating a new employee. In a government agency (and we are owned by one), that process can take eons, so please bear with us.
