Week thirteen

This week I worked on my presentation on Monday night. I am still filling in all the details. Next week will be my last week at the library. I will give a presentation about my project in two weeks.

Week twelve

This week I worked on my presentation on Wednesday night. On Thursday night I finished processing the Castel di Sangro Society collection. I finished finding aid, created the database record, and created the labels for the boxes. Once the finding aid is cataloged, it will appear here.

A proper label!

I only have a few hours left to work on my internship, but because of the holiday week this coming week, it will be spread out over a few more weeks.

Week eleven

This week I worked on my presentation on Tuesday night. On Thursday night I worked on the Castel di Sangro Society collection.

This week I finished processing the last documents in the collection and worked on the finding aid.

This is the finding aid

Some of the objects I processed were oversized and will be housed separately from the collection. They are the original charter document and a list of the founding members. The charter document is from 1926.

Week ten

This week I worked Tuesday and Thursday nights. I am continuing to work on my presentation and the Castel di Sangro Society collection.
I finished working on the photographs in the collection and started working on the documents in the collection.

Exercises in Memory of a Departed Brother

A lot of the documents are for society rites, whether for officer initiation, member initiation, or member funerals. There are also bylaws for the women's auxiliary and an older member list.

The collection is starting to come together

 Next week I'll be processing the objects in the collection and finishing the finding aid.

The presentation is starting to come together

I have the outline of my presentation all together. I just need to start filling in all the details. ASCPL Special Collections staff will use my framework to lead the classing on preserving family stories.
