National World War II Memorial Competition Symposium (8.03.02)

The videotapes record the morning session and the afternoon panel of the National World War II Memorial Competition Symposium held at Rhode Island School of Design 1997 April 26. The morning session presented an opening address by Ambassador Hadyn Williams followed by Brian Ambroziak and Katherine Bambric Ambroziak, Bernard J. Wulff and William C. Jackson, and Marion Weiss and Michael A. Manfredi.

The afternoon featured finalists Friedrcih St. Florian, Rafael Vinoly, and Diana Balmori, but was not recorded. Hugh Hardy led the finalists in a panel discussion followed by remarks by RISD President Roger Mandle.

The videotapes have been digitized as part of a project made possible in part by a Libraries of Rhode Island (LORI) grant from the RI Office of Library and Information Services using funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The digitized videos must be viewed in the Archives reading room.
