Weeks 34-36 at The Amistad Research Center


Greetings from New Orleans!
 
The Amistad Research Center hosted a tour of fifty freshmen students from New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). The students toured the new exhibition gallery, talked to the reference archivist about the Center's holdings, and walked upstairs to the processing area to view documents from our ongoing projects.  I showed the students two program booklets from plays that were produced by O'Neal and mentioned various types of correspondence included in his collection.  The students were intrigued and asked about saving emails and what steps are taken to save and to provide access to audio visual materials.
 
I also contributed to Amistad’s e-newsletter by writing an article about O’Neal and I continued to process O’Neal’s papers. The papers are almost complete (Yay!).

Please view my blog for more updates. 

Peace!
