9-April-2010 "Catching Up"

I visted with Cheryl Westhaffer on Wed. of this week and was able to aquire about 12 articles on Ivory Moore from the Public library archives. Today I scanned those documents into a file on my computer. These files will later be attached to the annotations and saved as pdf files for later use. I was also able to work with the microfilm machine for a few mninutes. Oh how cumbersome...I went to the university library on Wed. as well to see if they had a better system, they do. You still have to search for the column, but they will scan it an send them to you as an electronic file. I have already gotten a few back and those will go through the same process as the files from the public library. I have had to re-arrange my project a little....I will now be focusing primarily on Ivory Moore, working on a Biographical narrative of his life and service to the community. I am still planning on looking at articles that he wrote for the Commerce Journal. I think these articles will help to underatnd Moore as a person, a writer, and an activist. More later.
