box 5
Thar be treasure in this box! I hadn’t looked too closely at this one as it seemed to contain published and unpublished MKI writings that I had already seen elsewhere. But when I discovered there was a draft finding aid (did I mention this before? Wendy found it on the KR computer, Rhianna must have worked on it) the listings in the box looked a lot more interesting. So I dig through it on Thursday — what treasures! The only thing that was disappointing was the note about photographs that seem to be missing. They may have been moved to another collection and I will ask about this next time. In any case, I found some fabulous articles about the bookmobiles I had never seen before (of course with no date and no clue as to what paper they are from! One seems to be St. John NB…should be easy enough to track down based on the dates of the bookmobiles). The photo on the NB article has a shot of the Acadia bookmobiles I had never seen before! I thought only the one existed. Other treasures in this box include the missing schedule of stops of Bookmobile II (I only had that of I up to this point, and that surfaced in Mrs. Horton’s papers for some reason). MKI had some nice promotional material made for the bookmobiles, I’ve scanned a lot to use in the image presentation at CLA.
