James A. Emanuel Project Credits
Thank you for ALL those who have contributed to the James A. Emanuel Project. I am grateful to Janis A. Mayes for her Paris Noir Study Abroad Program. The opportunity to meet James A. Emanuel during the 2010 Paris Noir cohort and to work as a program assistant for two summers was foundational to this project's inception. It is an honor to have the support of James Smith, custodian of the James A. Emanuel Estate. Thank you, Mr. Smith. It is my hope that there will be delight and clear-sightedness when interacting with the material legacy that is within the James A. Emanuel Papers at the Library of Congress.
