Bud Meade - Veterans Project

For his project on college staff/veterans, Bud needs a number of photos, has supplied a list. Will look through the collection and see what I can find, then scan, email to him.

Freshman Record

Had a call about this, it was a short lived effort, a mini-yearbook, meet the freshman sort of thing. I only have it for 1979 - 1981, the caller thought there had been another year or two, but I don't have any. It was not digitized with the Saga, maybe I should add it in (- an intern project!) I have multiple copies, am going to mail her one each. She asked about charge, I said was none, always makes people happy to hear that :-)

Library school visitor

Someone getting their MLS from Syracuse stopped by recently, they're interested in the archives track there, and are coming in next week for a tour and talk with me. Will spend an hour or two showing them around, discussing archives basics and issues...


Update: she came, we spent a morning together, she had many good questions and comments. Part of her assignment was to make an assessment, and she will be sending me some suggestions for software to accession and create finding aids etc.

Internships

Had two before, now have four it looks like, each three credit. Topics vary: creative writing/historical about Normal era, bio of Mary Mortimer, Gay Freedom League, and another is doing a mix maybe, assisting me in various work...

Merce Cunningham Dance

Had a query from a prof at UC Irvine re this company appearing here in 1972. nyshistoricnewspapers.org to the rescue, lol. Turned out wasn't much in Stylus, but it did have brief notices, and they were here '73, not '72. However searching the whole site found some great articles from NYC papers etc.

Kerfoot - Hon112

Am in contact with Alicia Kerfoot, re bringing her class her for a visit this fall to the archives, as part of possible research projects etc. Class will be 11/2, details being worked out.

Dedman donation

Another donation, someone has a framed photo of Wayne Dedman, author of Cherishing this heritage etc., and a couple other items. They gave to someone in Advancement who is bringing them to me. Will add to the collection on him in the archives.
