JANUARY 28 - 7:30pm The Springfield Township Historical Society will present its annual History in Motion event via Zoom. The guest speaker will be Nancy Moses, author of Fakes, Forgeries, and Frauds, published earlier this year by the Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group. Moses,who is chairperson of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission,will discuss how cities could be considered "fake" if they have been rebuilt and provide the framework for what the historical... society does for preservation, what the preservation community does, in the face of economic development and the tearing down of houses and how visual integrity can be preserved.

A former visiting scholar at the American University in Rome, she is a former director of the Atwater Kent Museum, and has held senior position at the National Endowment for the Humanities, University of Pennsylvania Fels School of Government.
