The next program in the Lancaster Virginia Historical Society’s Zooming In On Local History Virtual Speaker Series will be “The James Wharton Films: An Enduring Record of Northern Neck Life in the 1930s.” The program will be presented by Ms. Joni Carter on Thursday, July 15, 2021, at 3 p.m. via Zoom. Carter, of Irvington, is currently a senior producer for the PBS travel series “Virginia Found.” In 2016, Carter initiated the Wharton Films Project to bring attention to a rediscovered collection of more than ten hours of 16mm silent films created by James Wharton of Weems. These films captured scenes of everyday people at work and at play in the small towns and rural communities of the Northern Neck during the Great Depression. Carter will share clips from the films and speak about the significance of their contents and Wharton’s work as a filmmaker and local historian.
