ISO Takoma Authors
Historic Takoma has launched a project to collect and document the work of authors living in (or closely associated with) Takoma Park. Initially this project focuses on collecting the publications of Takoma Authors and developing short biographical profiles to introduce the authors to the community. We currently have a small collection of books by local authors in our Reading Room – but it’s a tiny fraction of this author-rich community. The current list of books in our Takoma Authors Collection can be be found here.
If you are a published author living in Takoma Park – or once lived in Takoma Park or otherwise are closely associated with Takoma Park – Read More
we have two requests: 1) A donation of your publication(s) to add to the collection; 2) We’d like to know a little bit about you, in particular:- name and contact information (strictly for our records, not for public distribution)- a short (2-4 paragraphs) background about you – career, the nature of your work, ties to Takoma Park, etc.- if you have a web page or author site, the address of it- any awards, recognitions, etc. about you and your work (with links). The biographical sketches of each author are posted on our website. Please contact us at
archives@historictakoma.org.
