A new exhibit is now featured on the north side mezzanine level of the SAR Genealogical Research Library. Historic SAR Programs can now be viewed in the left hand display case directly outside the Mary & James S. Craik Special Collections Room. These 12 programs range from 1892-1925 and are all part of the NSSAR Archives. They feature many significant state and national SAR events, including early SAR Congress Banquet programs.

The Mary & James S. Craik Special Collections Room features museum quality pieces relating to the early history of the Unites States and the American Revolution. The room is located on the north side of the mezzanine in the SAR Genealogical Research Library. It is named after SAR member, James Craik, and his wife Mary. Mr. Craik was a descendant of Dr. James Craik, George Washington’s personal physician. The Craiks generously donated to the SAR a miniature portrait of Dr. Craik painted by Charles Willson Peale at Valley Forge in the winter of 1778.
