The Sanitary Fairs, full of pageantry and spectacle, were held during the Civil War to raise huge sums of money for the medical care of soldiers. A talk by Lorraine Madway, curator of Special Collections, will feature Sanitary Fairs images from the WSU Libraries' Kantor Collection -- one of the leading collections of these materials in the United States, from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at the Marcus Welcome Center. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. For more information, call 978-3586.
