Episode 9 | A Royal Relic: Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach Receives a Gift from Great Britain’s King George V

Written By Amber Manning

The Rosenbach’s collections include many objects with connections to European royalty.  One such object is a book that was acquired as a gift from the Royal Library at Windsor Castle.  In this episode, learn about this precious relic from a transatlantic voyage Dr. Rosenbach undertook in the 1920’s. 

You can read Dr. Rosenbach’s memoir Books and Bidders, which is referenced in this episode, for free online, via the Internet Archive!

I founded AmberCo. when I was five years old. Over the years, it has offered a variety of services from house cleaning, babysitting, car washing, travel planning, interior design and more. After college, I serendipitously fell into working for a web development company and I never looked back. I am happy that AmberCo. has finally settled on a mission that helps people in a meaningful way. I am also happy that some of the original services AmberCo. offered (cleaning and organizing) have carried through into its current iteration. I have been lucky enough to work for significant nonprofits such as the Sierra Club and the International Committee of the Red Cross and small local companies such as Hinkel Equipment Rental and Indars Stairs. My favorite part of working in technology is finding creative solutions for people and making their day to day work easier.
