This month in the Corcoran's history is a special web feature compiled from the weekly email newsletter sent to all Corcoran staff, known affectionately as the TWITCH, or This Week in the Corcoran's History.

The TWITCH contains historical tidbits and little known information about the Corcoran, ranging from the daily details of running the Corcoran that we now view with amusement, to larger events in the Corcoran's history, often containing primary source accounts. For example, William MacLeod, the Corcoran's first curator/director is often quoted from his daily journal.

The TWITCH was created by former Archivist Marisa Bourgoin, to whom the Corcoran staff is deeply appreciative.
