Remembering David Wallace: Celebrating Historic Preservation Month

David H. Wallace (1926-2024) was a well-known and loved member of the Frederick community and long-time volunteer in the Maryland Room of Frederick County Public Libraries. He was active in many of our County's local history organizations.  He published several transcriptions of Frederick primary sources, including diaries and records from All Saints Episcopal Church.  In his work for the FCPL Maryland Room, Dr. Wallace indexed over 700 works, completely changing the way the Maryland Room, and its patrons, accessed these works.  His index to the obituaries of 20th century Frederick County African American was ground breaking. Join us as we discuss Dr. Wallace's contributions to Frederick's history and birding communities, along with his life as a long term Frederick resident.  Samples of his works will be on display. Portions of his interview for the Frederick County Veterans History Project will be shown.
