Week 11

1) What I have accomplished throughout the week:

Preservation
This week I continued cleaning and sewing pamphlets. I also began listing the Craigie journals I had previously worked on by searching for annotations and cleaning. This listing involved documenting each volume's title, volume number, issue, dates published, and determining if it was a duplicate and the library already held a copy. This created a finding aid for the materials that were donated by Craigie.

Librarianship
This week I continued working on the New Perspectives project, by researching American university rankings by department. I found the top schools in the States for sociology, history, art, and museum studies and determined the department chair contact information. I also helped set up the new display in the rare books room, creating and laminating labels for the pieces being put on display.

Archiving
This week I continued cataloging the photographs from the Miss Great Britain archive. The archive is comprised of 300 photographs, so the project will take some time to complete. As before, I measured the size of the photo, created a short title for it, described it's contents, described it's physical features, denoted the photo's maker, and listed in what album number the photo was held.

2) What intersections I have seen between my job duties:

This week is my last week at my internships, though since I am staying in London a bit longer I am continuing my work at the Women's Library. This week was mostly about tying up loose ends at the Natural History Museum and finishing up the projects I have been working on all summer. The listing I did in my preservation internship was almost exactly like the listing I have been doing during my archiving internship, which has been a common theme throughout my work. It seems that listing and cataloging is a part of all three occupations.
