TREASURY
HISTORY BOOK
will contain extensive historical images of
the Building, with text on its construction. Written by architectural
historian Pamela J. Scott, the book will present a separate chapter
on the history of each of the four wings of the Building. Also,
there will be a chapter on the original Treasury Office in Washington,
DC, completed in 1800 and destroyed by arsonists in 1833. THA's
Publication Committee is now finalizing arrangements with a publisher
and current plans are for the book to be published in mid-2010.
Advance reservations for the book may be submitted to THA through
this application
form.

THA’S CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN
began with its kick-off on November 28, 2007. The Campaign
is a multi-year effort to raise private funding to assist the Department
of the Treasury in 12 high-priority preservation and restoration
projects in the Main Treasury Building and its environs, as well
as furnishings and documents in Treasury’s collections of historically-significant
items. Eight former Secretaries of the Treasury have agreed to serve
as Sponsoring Members of THA’s Capital Development Committee. Detailed
information about the various projects to be funded through this
Campaign is contained in THA’s Treasury
Restoration Projects booklet, and contributions will be
appreciated in any amount. Contributions may be designated for a
particular project listed in the booklet or be considered to be
undesignated, as desired by donors’ indication on the donor
card.
