"Gust's milk delivery"
Had a query re a photo of a local milkman labeled as above, ca1900, couldn't ID it. Then was told that the man was Gus Carges, so the label must have been "Gus'...." Then was able to find several articles in Brockport Republic and sent to Sarah Cedeno, new village historian.

Campus School Yearbooks
Fran Whited had asked me if I had some yearbooks for the campus school some time ago, thinking they had been given to us, but I had no recollection or record of such, hadn't known any were ever done. Then she found them at her home, and has shared them with me to scan; the originals need to go back to Mary Manitisas, the owner.
Significant acquisition, they are for '66, '67, and '68. Vivid capture of the active life in the campus school in its new home in Cooper. Will be adding to Digital Commons, post link in the Brockport Remembers on Facebook etc.

Writers Forum - Philosophical Exchange
Kim was in here asking me about these, especially WF, digitizing filmed interviews, posting in Digital Commons, what do we have for permission records... Both these programs are quite significant in their respective fields, and are coming up on 50th anniversaries.
I spent some time discussing with Kim, and showing her, some of what I have, processed and unprocessed. Many options and possibilities, it is finding the time to do it, these sorts of things are tremendously time consuming.

Plaque Inventory
Ben finished his summer internship on the plaque inventory. Great job, documented over 100 memorial or commemorative plaques on campus. Gian Cervone said he will have a student this fall working on the campus interactive map, for me to send him the spreadsheet with plaques and locations, they will add to the map as they can. Plus tie in here with fall projects, faculty bio, scholarship bio projects am working with Mike Andriatch on etc.
Rush job - campus school year books
Fran Whited called, had found out about several campus school yearbooks from the '60s, needs to return to owner, but wanted to let me borrow them to scan for archives, later print for village museum... Very busy with the upcoming photo history event for Friends group, but Fran is a good friend to us, and a rare opportunity to add to the collection so will do it asap.
