ClassGraphic We’ll discuss Rhode Island’s formation and its independence as it transitioned from colony to state. Jean Gagnier will share primary sources used in research such as the Colonial General Assembly records, diaries, naval records (both Royal Navy and U.S.), Rhode Island’s Parliamentary Patent, and the Royal Charter. Join us to expand your understanding of our state and leave with information on how to continue with your own journey of understanding of our “lively experiment.”
