Brockport Cemetery

A girl who is working on that cemetery walk later this month was referred to me by Laura D. Am going to help her find some local history resources etc.

Vietnam War era

Girl doing paper on the book The Things They Carried stopped by, wanting "artifacts" or something from that era to use with her paper presentation. Offered to scan a few headlines from Stylus etc. and email to her, which seemed to take care of it.

Pat Coates - Burlingame

Emeriti Pat Coates emailed asking about a reference to the Burlingame family made in something I'd published, turned out she was referring to the Daily Eagle post re C. Bruce Lee where he mentions a local couple of that name who befriended him in 1940. Sent her a link to the transcript and audio on DC.

Wilbur Adriance

Contacted by Advancement - his daughter who recently died make a bequest to the college in his memory for a scholarship, and they wanted info on him. Found a little in a file in RG26, more in Stylus etc., and sent to them. Need to add him to the scholarship list - he taught health/pe in campus school 1949-1964.

Athletics photo request

For a girl who played field hockey in 2003-07. Found some and emailed to Kevin.

Digital Commons & Facebook

Working some on Digital Commons and posting on same to the "Remembering Brockport" group on Facebook, via my "Brockport Archivist" account. Generates a lot of notice and hits.

Health Science dept records

Eileen Daniels secretary emailed saying Daniels wanted to know what records I had on this dept. Answer is not much, a few scattered old annual reports etc. Pretty typical, never has been a mechanism where for example every department would submit a copy of the annual report to the archives...

Update: not Health Sci at all, she was trying to get space for an archive of material from a professional org Karen Schule-Williams is part of, both to house it and provide space for Karen to work on it! I can't really do that, not enough room etc., said so to Karen, and luckily she understood.
