Did George Washington pray? This archives exhibit explores a long-standing controversy surrounding a manuscript prayerbook given to the College in 1895 by Rev.Charles Frederick Hoffman, who, like many others, believed it was written by George Washington. On display are archival items and facsimiles from the Bard College Archives and the Washington National Cathedral. Curated by Helene Tieger '85, Head of Archives and Special Collections at Stevenson Library.
This exhibit is on view on the third floor of Stevenson Library in conjunction with "Not the Thing He Supposed It" symposium on October 23.

The Art of Archival Practice with Julia Weist
Inaugural event for The Uses of History initiative.
Monday, October 19, 2026
5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library
In this presentation, visual artist Julia Weist will discuss her research-based practice and how it dovetails with her teaching in Bard's undergraduate Studio Art program. Weist has used archival material to illuminate the complexities of governance, institutional power, surveillance and censorship. Her works, which often take the form of richly-layered photographic collages, are frequently collected or presented by the same civic and cultural archives that serve as Weist's subjects. This collapse of the boundary between research and production is a hallmark of Weist's work as well as of the courses she teaches, such as Archives as Material.
